What, pray tell, is that terrible thing or things and why
hasn't that terrible thing or things happened to me?
Three reasons.
First, because your computer does nothing. It's a brick and it's
impossible to take control of a brick.
Second, if you ever manage to run something, it must crash some times
and you don't consider habitual crash as a terrible thing. The fact is,
if you manage to make something work by mistake, when it breaks you
wouldn't be able to see if it's your fault or someone else fault.
Third, the attacks have evolved since the last decades. Thirty years ago
when someone could get access to your computer, it was to break it. Now,
it's to use it. So there are to kinds of reason to access your computer.
The first is ransomewar, which you would know about but as there is
nothing to steal on your computer, that can't happen to you. The second
is to use your computer, so to be as discrete as possible, either to
mine bitcoins or to attack banks. So maybe something terrible is
happening to you and you can't realise it.
