This is absolutely true. People will *always* want to download whizzy customizations straight from the internet. Weatherbug, comet cursor, etc. It's just human nature. If Linux ran downloads from jails by default then I would agree that it was safer by default. As it is today, for the common user, Linux and Windows appear to be more or less equally vulnerable.
