Linux and MacOS users are, let's face it, in the minority compared to Windows users. Granted Windows most likely does have moe security flaws than these other OSes, but the main concern here is that virus writers will target the OS that will cause the most damage (or that they have the most experience with) and that will almost always be Windows.
Even if all the known exploits in Windows were patched, all it would take it one more for another virus to do something like Blaster or Slammer. On the flipside though, something like that could just as easily happen to Linux if an exploit were found, it's just that no one bothers to write viruses that take advantage of it.
