I don't fully agree on this one.

Linux has a wider attack vector since there are tons of packages out there. Yet the core has a lot of attention and many eyes on it, just because it is so open.

Vulnerabilities get patched rather sooner than later. Linux versions and gnu packages are running basically the entire internet, so there is definitely incentive to break into into it.

It's also a lot clearer in linux when a process is doing something it shouldn't, since it's a lot easier to probe into it to check what's going on.
