The only protection Macs have is that no-one gives a crap about such a small amount of users.

Sure. 30 Million computers worldwide is not a thing to attack eh.....if you really believe that you're really dreaming.

Well if the same effort can reach about 1 billion computers, which would you pick?

IBM created the PC, now it's not even near the top of the list when it comes to PC brands.

Wait, what? Could that have something to do with the fact that IBM got out of the PC business years ago, and sold the whole PC division to Lenovo?
saint:
No, that's pretty much a result, not a cause. Compaq, Dell, Gateway, etc... pretty much knocked IBM off that throne. Big iron was/is IBM's mainstay.

There have been viruses that infect macs through other programs, but they're just not as widespread since the mail client and web browser are the best way to quickly spread an infection.

You say this like it's something to be simply dismissed. It's like responding to my bragging about my new home alarm system with, "Yes, yes, your windows and doors are very well protected, but that's not going to stop someone from tunneling under the house and coming up through the floor. So your alarm system really doesn't make your house much safer than my no-alarm-system house."
If OSX is locked down from email/web-based threats (I know nothing about it and have no idea whether this is actually true, btw) that pretty much makes it about 99% locked down.
