Google is doing native encryption because it wants the HUGE pie in the sky...businesses and corporations. Presently, Apple dominates this due to native security features and encryption. The only way Google can compete is doing the same.
My fear is that Avast is still software. But again, this is way out of my league because I do not have much experience with Avast.

Yes. It is an in-app purchase.
Because, like you said, it want's to break into the corporate world. It's all about the money.
As to why corporations are not requiring it? I think the problem lies not in Avast but in Android. For example, where I work they have a very specific OS the install on PC's, iPhones, Blackberries, etc with their own suit of security software. Doing the same for Android would be problematic at best just because there are so many versions still in operation and I don't think many IT teams are willing to handle that much work.
Maybe when Google rolls out native encryption, activation locks, and other security features that corporations are looking for it will be different story but until then Apple has that corner of the market pretty secure as their only main competitor is Blackberry and Blackberry is a shrinking market pool.
Until then though I will stick with Avast as I have had good experience with it and if it can keep my wife from loading infested programs on our home PC's successfully then I call that a win for now. Lol.
