So the point is that you aren't going to get malware on your small, entirely contrained and locked down portable computing device like you are on your larger, general purpose open computing device? Why even bother making that comparison?
OS X has plenty of vulnerabilities.[1] If you want to make a coherent argument, source your claims that modern windows only requires you visit a site or open an email, and we can look to see if Apple has had similar vulnerabilities in equivalent products.
