I dont know why you say not strictly true. At the recent security conferences, Mac OSX have been as easily and as quickly compromised as Windows (actually quicker than Windows at the last Pwn2Own contest).
95% of malware is made for economic benefit and 95% of users just dont know what is right or wrong when it comes to clicking through warning messages, if it "looks right" they will say OK. Your are basing your assumptions on knowing. Go and ask your next door neighbour or your mother.
