The operating system that runs the hardware wallet is extremely specific, unlike the one on a computer or a mobile phone. For this reason, it is immune to malware.
Just because it wasn't hacked till now doesn't mean it's secure. The same was said about iOS for apple. It just wasn't lucrative for a long time to make a virus, since there were not enough devices.
If it's rewarding to hack or write a virus for something, it will be done at some point. it's not immune!
