Why are you cherry picking old data ?

I agree that many Mac users have a false sense of security but it is also true that there are fewer attacks on Mac systems vs PCs, for various reasons including market share. For attackers it's a numbers game.

Based on CVE count, Mac OS X and iOS are #1 and #2 for the largest number of known vulnerabilities.....

FALSE

See the 2016 chart below.

Another thing to consider is that Microsoft is generally quickest to patch their vulnerabilities, followed by the big Linux distributions..... The commercial UNIX variants are the worst in that regard.

You have no evidence of this claim.

Which general purpose Linux or UNIX variant shows the fewest vulnerabilities? I didn't circle the "Real Time Extension" #50 in the list because it is not general purpose and it is not a full OS but an add-on (extension).
