He is most likely saying that Windows 10 does not have a more significantly inherently secure design. That is, Win10 is not less likely to have security issues than Win7.

Whereas what you are pointing out is that when issues are found, they are left unfixed in one of those OSes. That's a different thing.

But Win10 _does_ have an inherently more secure design[1], so much so that sometimes you have to turn them off in order to install stuff like VMWare.

Built-in anti-virus and Edge as the default instead of IE are pretty big improvements themselves, for the average user.
