It's not about avoiding Google. Google does excellent security work. It's about using the most secure products in each category. An Android phone can be made asymptotically as secure as an iPhone, but only by an expert.

But: if it helps put a dumb argument to rest, consider that in the populations being trained, "Android phone" means "phone from an insane variety of vendors, most of whom are not competent to sell or maintain a secure phone".
