Script Kiddies can write viruses for Windows, but you have to know your stuff to write a virus for OS X.
Sounds like built in security right there.
If you make the O/S hard to write software for, then who is going to want it in the first place. If scripting or simple software is not possible with the O/S it will remain as a minor player. And minor players tend to ramain secure through obscurity.

I said you have to know your stuff to write a virus, not a program. There is a difference. A virus is intended to subvert the OS, a program is intended to cooperate with the OS.
Writing software for OS X is incredibly simple.
