Even if they don't have specific intel, separation of all 3rd party apps and official government communication should be a no brainer.

App exploits exist. Nothing is perfectly sandboxed. In app browsers overwrite generic JavaScript functions.

We are entirely too trusting with our data, and our metadata, and people will choose cute image filters over security every damn time left to their own devices.
