Hacking Safari on Windows

If Mac is only secure because of its small marketshare—which is a plausible, if unverifiable, claim—then why is it that the moment Safari was ported to Windows, it was hacked every which way?
If hackers only care about “market share,” why was a browser with 0% of the market (Safari on Windows) so readily hacked and not Safari on the Mac (with a significantly higher share at the moment)?
Can this really be because hackers have better tools to detect vulnerabilities on Windows? I doubt it. Rather, it looks to me like Windows is simply a platform so rife with holes that even Apple developers have a hard time making secure, which is really saying something.
