It is an accurate statement.
Linux is a monolithic UNIX-like OS, with all the implications of an accidental design that dates to the late 60s/early 70s.
For starters, it has huge (Linux has MLoCs) TCB. And it is very trusted (undeservedly so) code, as it runs with supervisor privileges.
One bug in these MLoCs is all it takes.
There are far better system architectures out there.
