Both Windows and macOS have binary whitelisting in place making it harder to run arbitrary binaries that aren't known good to the OS vendor. Pain in the ass sometimes because Windows Defender quarantines executables and DLLs I freshly compiled, and you have to do command line magic -- after every update -- to get unsigned stuff past Gatekeeper and Xprotect, but in terms of endpoint security for normies both Windows and macOS are way ahead of Linux.
