Thats pretty much my argument when people say "There are more bugs on Linux than Windows! Linux bad!".
No, there are not more, there are more found. There are just as many (or more) on Windows, but never found or properly reported. Which is a bad thing.
Some time ago all the tech "news" headlines where "Linux is less secure than Windows, look at all the CVEs open !", well yes Linux has tones more CVE reported because anyone can audit the code, bugs are discovered and reported, people are informed and can put mitigations in place, unlike with Windows...
The other thing is companies care about CVEs as they use Linux to run their critical infrastructures.
I am sure companies care about CVEs in Windows and other proprietary SW as well. They can only wish they get found, disclosed and fixed.
Of course they do, but their are not big in number and market share. Maybe « Almost all world wide deployed critical infrastructures runs on Linux » is a better statement.
