This is simply not true. Windows is in no way the most secure operating system ever devised. Microsoft has support pages devoted to removing malware from Windows 10, while there has never been a major malware outbreak on iOS. For the average user iOS is by far the most secure OS.

Now obviously a lot of iOS's security can be attributed to Apple's walled garden approach to apps. If you limit the question to desktop operating systems I supose it's slightly less cut and dry, but I'd still rank macOS significantly higher than windows in terms of overall security.

I think the author should have said "the most secure version of Windows sever devised" instead, as it would be much harder to disagree with.
