For the very obvious reason that a 0-day exploit is inherently more
dangerous on a less secure system, and Windows is by design less
secure compared to the *nix-based systems like Mac OS or Linux. 0-day
exploits can very very diverse, and the most obvious risk is getting
malware through such an exploit.
