That's because Linux only has a very small segment of the market. If Linux
gains a larger market share, then the idiots that write viruses will begin
to write viruses for Linux.
So how come there are so few viruses that attack Unix based servers and so
many that attack Windows based servers, although Unix and its descendants are
in the majority and Windows servers in the minority? Could it just be that
the OSs are intrinsically more secure?
Speaking of servers, I recently came across this info about
supercomputers. Linux rules the supercomputer world, running on more
than 85% of them. Windows has only 1.2%. As I mentioned in another
note, some 75% of web servers run Apache on Linux or Unix.
