"Oh man, I'd love to use Linux because then I wouldn't have to have Edge installed!" - Nobody. Ever.

People use Windows because it comes with the PC and it runs all their shit (maybe except some yellowing-beige and blue scanner from 1997) with no fucking about needed. They were never incentivised to use Linux. They don't know what an OS is, and more importantly, they don't care.

Also most software is written for that default os and if they ran into most of the common issues linux users do theyd throw it in the bin.
