BUT if everyone switches, then Linux will become the target and have
the same problems.  It has its own vulnerabilities, but they are just
not exploited by the hackers and script kiddies because it is still a
(relatively) niche market.  The low-life crackers would crack Linux if
it was the big OS on the block.
