Yes, but a decade or more ago. The security landscape and perceptions around it have changed.

Also, back then the difference between MacOS and Windows was pretty stark so this was a valid marketing point. Not that the ads didn't oversell it, of course.

Nothing on that site makes the claim that Apple software is immune from malware. They claim that it's "secure", but that's relative anyways. All of the real iOS malware I know of abuses either jailbroken devices or enterprise provisionings. The standard infection case of "ran something you shouldn't have" or drive by downloading is a lot harder to pull off there.
