I've also noticed that I don't have as many pop-ups even without having the Safari pop-up blocker turned on!

The reason for this is that Mac and Unix users aren't a large consumer segment. There is still adware out there that gets onto Macs and because OS X runs on a Unix backbone, it's also opened to a ton more viruses now. The difference is that Macs will ask user permission before auto installing some ad or virus program.
