Luckily I don't have to manage the bloody things! I am just thankful apple hasn't start manufacturing network infrastructure devices then I would have to quit because the company would jump all over that... "Oh! Look it's shiny, white AND it blinks!"

Many of the Linux tools also work. I'm not worried that they only look for two trojans. They are checking for things that are in the wild infecting users... of those, only users who install pirated and untrustworthy apps, and give them administrative permissions, are having any of these issues at all.
