Those servers are also sitting in and/or behind DMZs specifically configured with network based intrusion prevention systems to protect them.
So while more valuable, they're also better protected because network security is a thing.
Yeah fair enough. I'd have to assume folks who spend time making malware want a return on their investment, whether financial or status / fame. Not a big ROI on hacking my gaming desktop or a thinkpad I use to stream movies.
That's true for all OSs though, you might be a target of convenience but the money is in enterprise networks.
