Sure, it'd be "easier" in a strictly literal sense. Just as it'd be easier to write these exploits on a system a 60" monitor.
The point is there's not a /significant/ difference; understanding code at a high level doesn't really help to attack it (it can make it harder, since the edges that you look for to exploit are precisely those parts you try and abstract away in a higher-level language), and the windows codebase is well-understood with lots of publicly available information describing in, even without the source code.
