Sure. But when was the last time a company was in the news when they were hit with macOS-, iOS-, or Linux-based ransomware?
I'm in IT, but Windows was never my thing/niche. Generally I've viewed two problems with it:
1. when it becomes a monoculture where basically everything in the company runs on it
2. something about its architecture/designs appears (to me, at least) for very easy spreading of malware (does it have some weaker SSH-equivalent that allows easy remote control?)
Just ask Maersk about these two points:
