Well, except for that one time that you could visit a website and jailbreak your device using an exploit seconds after getting your hands on the device.
But otherwise, these walled-garden approaches that Apple and MS have chosen for their devices make them significantly safer without AV compared to other open systems (PC, Mac, Android).
