That's slightly disingenuous. While there may be no trojans actively spreading at this time, that doesn't mean the Mac is immune. It has been attacked in the past and will be again. So, Mac owners should run AV software.
I think it also comes from this site:
http://guides.macrumors.com/Mac_Virus/Malware_FAQ
which rules that malware, adware and spyware are not included in the definition of viruses.
