I've met quite a number of developers that somehow barely have the skills of my grandma using a PC outside of their daily development tasks. Ive seen multiple help desk tickets back in my help desk days where developers got someone to email saying their PC was broken when it was just turned off.

My point being a developer does not necessarily make this person somehow less susceptible to app store scams.

Hello, I'm that developer. I'm pretty savvy! That's why I agreed to be interviewed for this piece - I wanted to help make the case that even highly sophisticated users can be taken in by this stuff.

I was supporting your point in a roundabout way.

You're making some rather uncharitable assumptions here. Simon is a very skilled and accomplished developer.
