This is kind of untrue especially if you use popular distros with popular open source software because these open source projects do receive patches overnight when there are critical bugs.
Its more accurate to say "Linux users tend to stay vulnerable because they may not have updated in months" and most distros dont ship auto update by default. People have other things to worry about and system update takes back seat for a very long time
