No point in barking at reality, friend. We live in an imperfect world.
And this is why you should make sure whatever opsys you use is locked up tighter than the NSA files. You can bark at Windoze all you want but keep in mind that the beloved MACos and the penguin are also subject to attack.
NO operating system is bullet proof. Security is the users' responsibility. What I run may not be everyone's cup of tea so your mileage may vary but for starters Firefox with NoScript. At least with that combo if something executes from a web link, you OK'd it...
There are other options to lock down (originally typed 'lock-up' but windoze manages that quite well on its own..;-) your machine including some in the link in post #56.
Your choice as to whether you want to do that or just complain about the holes...
