So what your saying is basically macs dont get viruses because they share a small part of the market and the language they "speak" is too difficult to write....?
Seems like sooner or later some jerk is gonna take the time to rain on the mac parade...
They have written them, in most cases macs block them in security. They language is inherently designed to forbid access to underlying operating procedures which means you have to know how to get in the system to plant the virus. PCs dont do this, send it and forget it and let it do it's thing. This is why UNIX is used in all secure goverment operations. Not difficult to write , so much as difficult to implement.
