Yeah that kinda thinking is really not useful. Linux is a very very juicy target these days due to your thinking. Desktop Linux installations are riddled with poor security settings and many server features enabled by default. IOT devices and self spun servers are regularly deployed unsecured as well.

Yeah, even if it IS true that it's not juicy right now, doesn't that mentality run directly contradictory to the desire for linux to become more popular? We're trying to increase market share, so the "not a juicy target" idea is a very wreckless way of thinking.
