That whole thing is manufactured drama by some youtubers.

I can't say if the infections themselves are real or staged, but they clearly and explicitly set the OS up for failure: they give it a public internet IP, enable file sharing, RDP, remote assistance, then disable the firewall for good measures. No modern OS would fare better in those circumstances.

I disagree, I think most modern OSes would be fine, assuming they are up to date and nobody is using secret 0days on you.
