ELi5: Why are PC webcams much more susceptible to hacking compared to modern smartphones?

Is there a difference on the Mac side of things?
Does Android and iPhone deal with this in the same way or differently?

They aren’t, assuming oyu mean someone getting access to the video. PC webcams re just USB devices normally.

The part that can be hacked is the computer it’s attached to, which is unrelated to there being a webcam connected.

You can also connect a PC webcam to an Android phone and use it, too.
