Well some do use *nix flavours such as AIX but the really big guns generally run z/os with CICS processing the transactions.
But you're correct in that miscreants generally don't have access to the hardware and/or a means to seek out vulnerabilities plus the nature of these legacy systems don't present the variety of attack vectors present in a Windows based domain/network.
