It honestly is not about what device that you have. Others believe that Apple can never have a virus since you can't download just any file from the Web using that phone. Does anyone really know someone who got their Smartphone hacked? I have friends who click every Ads and pop-up prompts but they never got their phone hacked. In a computer, these people have tons of virus what does those virus do? The most troublesome I encountered was a virus that auto-downloads and installs apps without your knowledge. Other than that? Nope.

I have to disagree. Maybe you were lucky with your viruses, but the net (even this forum) is full of stories of people who had the phones or computers hacked and used to do some financial freud (the virus can for instance replace the legit bank account or bitcoin address with the attacker's one, making you send your money to the attacker).
The phones are actually much more dangerous when hacked, because they not only can access bank accounts or wallets, but they usually act as 2FA devices, in effect the attacker controls both authentication channells of the victim.
And have you heard of viruses that encrypt the victim's hard drive? The attacker says they would reveal the key only after you have send them bitcoin.
