The hacks you read about today are all mobile for the most part IOS and Android.

FreeBSD always had a bullseye because for a decade real ISP infrastructure targets used it.
Windows has gotten much better but still the UAC does not help uninformed users.

Why hack ChromeOS when you can hack Google's backend with the real targets of value?
A breach in Google Docs would wipe out some law firms I know.
