The metaphor implies that iPhones aren't routinely stolen. But they are, iPhone theft is actually pretty common.

Although the crypto might be relevant being attacked is something that any asset owner has to worry about (even for assets like houses, oddly enough - I suspect big mansions would be something of a thief draw). The attacks are unintended consequences of wealth as opposed to any specific property of crypto - having an equal amount of cash on hand isn't safe either.



I suspect most folks don't carry around that much cash, and if they do they certainly don't tell everybody about it.
