- more people are using it (assuming macos is in its own bucket perhaps)
- bigger surface areas (esp NetBSD has in my limited understanding just less stuff that can go boom)
- more churn, ie more new stuff than can be buggy released more often.
Of course, because of that, more eyes are on Linux, so I'm not sure where that security tradeoff is.
