SANS Top 20: Mac OS X?

I see SANS has put the Mac OS X in it's "Top 20" list of vulnerabilities. Not parts of the OS, and not misconfigurations, but ALL of the Mac OS X. Is that OS really a "vulnerability" of such magnitude that it deserves a "Top 20" listing? I'm puzzled, SANS remediation is merely patch, turn on the firewall, and configure per published guidelines. That fits for _any_ OS. It just doesn't make sense that the _entire_ OS is a "Top 20" yet the remediation is so basic. Does SANS know something we don't? Is the mere existence of OS X in a network so bad that it deserves to be tagged as a "Top 20"?
