It looks like someone exaggerated the visual representation of Microsoft's security defects to Apple's security defects. Apple is listed as having half the number of defects of Microsoft, yet Apple's box is about 1/4 the size. For some reason Microsoft's graphic is way out of proportion compared to the left hand side of the chart.

Box sizes are calculated as a percent of MAX value. In this case, MAX value is Food recalls (3,199), thus the size of the Microsoft box is 87% the size of the Food recalls box (2,807/3,199). The Apple box is 45% the size of the Food recalls box (1,435/3,199) and so on.
