iOS is a distinct operating system.

Wikipedia offers: In the area of desktop and computers, Microsoft Windows is generally above 70% in most markets and at 77% globally, Apple's at around 13%, Google's ChromeOS at about 6% (in the US) and Linux at around 2%.

More importantly, the vast majority of Macs are consumer machines. The share of Macs in the professional market is very low, especially globally. Malware development is driven by business and government targets, not consumers. Ransomware technologies, for instance, were developed to attack big organizations, not individual consumers. Consumers are really an ancillary target.?

In addition, Windows systems tend to be much older and more poorly maintained compared Mac systems. This means that within the Windows slice of the pie, a far larger percentage are vulnerable.

The net result is that Windows systems globally present a far more lucrative target for malicious actors.

Malware is driven by market forces, not technical simplicity.
