Discussion on: Windows or Mac (or Linux😁) for devs?

Rhe discussion was who has more experience with vulnerabilities.

The previous point was that Windows has more experience and this was too say that mac has experience in a sense too. With the big assumption in both cases that more published vulnerabilities means more vulnerabilities to solve and thus get experience.

But you can also interpret as you have done, that mac has more vulnerabilities (solved or not) and this means the software is insecurely designed.

Back to previous comment though - that I found sources saying that no OS is more inherently secure than the other. They all have weaknesses. Mac gets targeted less and like you say means mac users are less vigilant in a way.
