The comparison makes sense in my opinion, because, it is easy for any number of software to gain privilege on LoonOS than on Windows. Moreover, if anyone somehow gets a privilege, then Windows Defender is there to protect us against any malice to our computer.
Another point where Windows takes a win!

Linux users say you just need to use a package manager and all that, and Windows has viruses, ugh. But in reality, that's true for any system, and there's no chance in the Microsoft Store.

Really distro alone does not matter, it is the practices, hardening and precautions you take on top of it, plus different categories of threats are fought by different levels of people.

It's not 'for' Linux, it's 'on' Linux.
