MODERATORS
Linux dominates web, iot, mobile, supercomputers, financial, cloud and development devices.... Targets that are way more valuable than desktops which is probably what you're thinking of.
True, but also more secure by virtue of being valuable and maintained by large companies with resources. Windows and macs are used by the everyday shlub so it can be anywhere from an encrypted brick to “123admin” level of secure.
