Average Android users are not targeted by exploits.


Sounds like they're better off then, since they're not getting targeted?


No, the threat to most users is losing their device, cloud backups, sensor permissions, and the like. The price of a remote zero click has nothing to do with whether your phone offers end to end encrypted cloud backups (which Android does not) or secure bioauth (remember when Android vendors shipped various insecure versions of face unlock before giving up on replicating Face ID?).
