Also, do you find security/antivirus to be that beneficial? I don't use any on my phone or any of my PCs and never had an issue.
That's extremely odd you have never ran into an issue on your PCs. There has been a number of times, security has saved my computer from malicious code over the years.
And I can not count how many times I have been asked to look at a computer, that was ate up with malware, root kits, and various other malicious code. Although I have no idea what those people had been doing with their computers.
I only started recently using security software on my mobile devices. I never do risky things with my devices but just like PCs, malicious code is everywhere now. And you are not always the source of the vulnerability, as popular apps and software itself gets hacked at their end - which affects you directly.
