I mean, if you want to move away from Microsoft's very weird UI principles and towards an operating system where you'll never be placed in this situation, then that seems to me to be very reasonable advice?

Like, in all seriousness, what advice can anyone give to this individual? No one anticipates Microsoft making the changes OP wants. This is a problem that doesn't exist in Linux and for cultural and technical reasons effectively can never happen within Linux. Linux is free and will remain free forever.

I live in the real world. I know that people's employers might not support them using Linux. However, why is the anger in this situation always pointed at those who are trying to offer a better alternative and never those preventing a switch to said alternative?
