>>> IMO the better question is why the hell attackers targeting macOS haven't been doing this until now (if we take their word for it).
They've been doing it for a while. Mac has been since the platform with the most malware since the past year or two. It's outclassed Windows.
Adware is more widespread (changing browser homepage, injecting ads, paid popups), I think it makes more money on a regular basis than bricking laptops.
