Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can explain - flatpaks seem way more secure than anything you would ever install in Windows by a long shot. It's also fairly trivial for me (and I'm by no means a hardcore user) to use a completely immutable version of linux such as Silverblue. The other complaints in these links also seem suspect. If the Linux kernel is insecure due to it being monolithic doesn't that make ChromeOS just as insecure? What about android? What about the "96.3% of the top one million web servers [that] are running Linux"?
Also there's something to be said for security through obscurity. My bet is I could go through my entire junk mail folder opening all attachments on Linux without a problem, but it'd take me less than 10 on windows to be fully owned. If you're careful on Linux aren't you far, far safer than if you're careful on Windows?
