I think its mostly sunk cost and “i dont want to invest time to learn new things” that keeps people on windows.
Work is a separate thing. My work laptop runs windows, a matter I dont have a say in. But for personal use cases? I feel there are exceptionally few that are more than “i have to change the programs I use and learn how new ones work”. And if that’s too major a barrier for someone to overcome, good for them. The least they can do is say “I dont want to use Linux because its too much effort”.
