Does anyone actually do that? I can see the above as an additional
argument for someone who's about to switch to Linux, but surely it's
not the main reason.

I don't try to convince windows users to switch to linux - unless they are
prepared to get support - but when they ask me why I use linux, one of the
reasons I give is that I have never been infected by a virus, and that I
don't use an antivirus.

It's part of the reliability argument.
