I'm not arguing that Linux or Mac need no protection.
There are serious threats to any Linux machine. And if you include Android, there are probably far more Linux machines out there. Hell, including their navigation, router, NAS, TV, and car, my 70+ yo mom runs at least 5 Linux machines at her home. It's a significant target. And Mac is quite obviously a neat target, if only because the demographic usually has higher income (hardly any Bangladeshi sweatshop worker will put down the cash to buy a MacBook or iphone. But might just own an Android or windows laptop)
I'm arguing that viruses aren't a threat, generally. Partly due to the architecture, partly due to their useage.
