Linux users used to say "Linux is secure and doesn't get viruses". Now the best thing we can say about it is "Linux gets viruses just like the Play Store". Sad if you ask me.

I think anyone who has made that claim was probably trying to be smug or didn’t actually understand security concepts, and was never correct to be making that claim.
Only Apple has made that claim in their marketing and that was 20 years ago when security by obscurity was shielding them, and when Windows XP was such a cesspool that anything with a normal amount of malware would look virus-free by comparison.
