There's at least four different reasons this nonsense wouldn't affect me, LOL. (I don't use Facebook, don't want Windows 11, don't see ads because they're blocked, and can't run Windows malware because Linux.)
My Mac and I would like to see it try. Malware? It's a Mac. (Mac malware exists, but this is probably/likely made for Windows.) Actual Windows? Not in this Christian server M2 Pro.
You can run actual Windows in a hypervisor, and have all malware you want for everything inside that hypervisor, and also hypervisor escape is a thing if you have something like guest additions with access to host filesystem etc.

[This could be a joke about Windows 11 being malware in the first place]

If you're still on facebook you deserve a free windows 11 upgrade to be honest.

That’s a silly malware vector though, because everyone still stuck on windows prefers W10 to W11

The kind of people that fall for this probably has a good overlap with those sick of the "upgrade!!!!" Windows Popups.

So.... the advertiser is Microsoft, and the malware is Windows 11 Pro. Ohh I'm so surprised

I imagine a good number of people will fall for this. Tech illiteracy is the norm.

You can run actual Windows in a hypervisor, and have all malware you want for everything inside that hypervisor, and also hypervisor escape is a thing if you have something like guest additions with access to host filesystem etc.
Attack surface is smaller.
