Here's some answers for you. Business are in this for the money. If a well know OS was more secure and less scketchy, then the well known anti-virus company would surely be out of business soon. Just like the drugs companies, oil traders and arms dealers, well know software companies play on the same league: one goal > maximize profit.

It's a win-win situation, a well know OS company turns the head to some back holes and glitches, wich are then exploited, and on the other side we get the well know anti-virus companies cashin in.

It's simple logic.
