It's also an order of magnitude harder to write a worm, virus etc that

Yet we have seen on this list user claiming that since they are the only
user for the pc it is acceptable to use linux as root, without a password,
and no user installed. They don't seem to stick around for long, these
users, but they are the same users as get into trouble with windows.
