That's a bad analogy. It would be more applicable if there were a nebulous group of people dedicated to killing the largest number of e-ink devices by any means necessary so they focus on the most popular ones because it is easier to do so.

From a personal end user standpoint, most people will never be the direct target of a attack (and if you are, you are probably in a situation where being 100% up to date won't save you). If they get owned, it will be by a drive-by exploit or because they directly executed malware.

Drive-by exploits tend to target the most popular systems.
