Security. The more popular a piece of software gets (including operating systems), it becomes a bigger attack surface for malicious actors to use.
Fundamentally, Windows security is not really that much of a swiss cheese people usually say it is. It’s just that more people (researchers and malicious actors alike) are actively looking for vulnerabilities in it.

I mean, Linux is the operating system pretty much all servers run. There’s probably many more machines running Linux than Windows. Sure, a new category of viruses would find its way over to Linux, but overall the security is good.
Not saying Windows sucks in that regard. But Windows sometimes just creates a stupid attack surface in their chase of squeezing every penny out of you.
