Your statement is not accurate, but sadly very common. This is why I'm saying something. PC = what? Windows? nay. I can run a Mac OS on a PC. There is still Mac hardware, but the lines between PC hardware and Mac hardware are changing.

malware is generally programmed for Windows only, simply because it is the most popular, likely to do the most damage, get the most fame, spread easier, etc. If Mac were to be adopted to a larger cross section of the industry, then exploit efforts will naturally go that direction. Same goes for any operating system.

PC's can run anything. Most people are still running Windows. Plenty run a flavor of Linux, others are running Mac OS. Just make sure you make that distinction when arguing the case against "PC".
