Now you're talking about completely different things. I also stopped using Windows for personal stuff for those same reasons.
The security model for Windows is designed to keep people who aren't supposed to have access to the system out. The security model for Linux is designed to keep people who are supposed to be in the system confined to the portion of the system they're supposed to be in. Either model can be made to work. But with modern enterprise systems, Windows had to get a lot more complicated to add features admins need.
However, the reason Windows security is better has nothing to do with that. It is simply because it has to be better. It's the difference between German and Japanese cars. The German car may have started with a better design. But through iteration, ruthless testing, and customers demanding better, the Japanese car is going to do what it is supposed to do better.

Yes, but Linux is growing its share of the Desktop market fast enough that it is also increasing in absolute numbers despite declining desktop usage. Mac also increased in absolute numbers over the past 5 years. Linux and Mac both being Posix systems means it is much easier to port software between the two than it is between either of them and Windows.

Also, Linux is less secure than Windows at this point. The only reason users aren't constantly dealing with malware is that there just isn't much written targeting desktop users yet. As it gets more popular, expect security to become a major problem on Linux.

Why does a fairly small chicken restaurant chain need an app? That's just bloat.

The idea stems from a thought experiment proposed by Denis Ritchie to demonstrate that there is no such thing as trustless.
