I agree with you, but as the article pointed out:
"Yes, it is possible to make a PPC virus: as I said, there are a couple of "proof of concept" models that have been seen. However, since they lack a means to reproduce, they're not found in the wild. PPCs don't have some of the issues PCs did/do, such as the ability to automatically execute code. No VBScript, no Office macros, no open internet ports. So the ability to get infected with a virus basically boils down to getting the user to voluntarily install it."
