There is very little to gain for hackers on the Mac platform, neither

This will change if Mac OS becomes the dominant OS one day (which is
very unlikely in my opinion).
Well, iOS for tablets is dominant. I'm sure Android will catch up and
pass it, but at the moment we know that most of tablets are iPad and
they are pretty fashionable. I think that if I was a hacker and capable
to display my ass on the 10% of iPads around the world, I'd gain
primetime in TV.
