Do YOU have a view?

A view on what? The most popular one is the most popular one, that's
just a fact.

Yes and no.

Obviously there will be one product that is installed on the
most computers (or in the case of the Mac, it's probably no
third-party anti-malware product at all is the most used option),

But due to the stupidity of the way all polls / surveys are run (tiny
number of people surveyed, misleading questions, participants lying / responding multiple times, results skewed by whoever is paying the bill, etc.), the product that appears at the top of different "Most" or "Best" lists can vary, although you may find the top 10 are mostly the same,
just in a different order.

Thank you for your thoughts on this question.

I hope you read at the link. Roberto starts out saying ......

Q: What is the most popular anti-malware software for use on Apple
computers?

A: The most popular anti-malware software on all Apple products is the anti-malware protection layers that are already built into all Apple
products

That means that you don't have to add any third party apps, in fact,
third party apps don't do anything on Apple products, they are a waste
of time and money because Apple already provides anti-malware
protection, which makes third party apps useless
Additional Information:

I have written about this before so I will quote myself here:

There are attempts at making viruses, and hacker attacks, written for
the Mac, iPhones and iPads, they do exist but they don’t work because
Apple is successful at deflecting them, Apple implements Active
Continuous Defense which is something that no other tech company does;
Apple expends a huge effort in keeping their customers safe, protecting customer privacy via an effective multi layer defense system built into
many layers of the operating system (which deflects viruses, hackers and
other malware). There is no other OS with anywhere near the protection
level that Apple provides. That is why no one sees any active viruses or
other hacks on Mac, iPhones or iPads, regardless of how many new strains
are made.
