It’s also a side effect of when the operating systems were designed. Windows pre-dates the Internet. It was hard to publish software and distribute it (you literally went to the store and purchased a cardboard box with some disks and a paperback manual in it), so the idea of a virus just wasn’t a thing.

Compared to phone OSes (iOS and android) which were designed from the ground app for Internet connectivity and the dangers that come with potentially malicious/abusive software running on your device.
