You're thinking of Mac people. There was a brief moment where the eye- candy junkies hung around Windows, back in the XP/Win7 era when themes & Aero were a thing, but MS killed those as part of its quest to create the ugliest possible tablet UI. The typical Windows user these days is more about just never having to think about the UI, which is why any time MS changes it for marketing purposes someone comes out with a hack like Classic Shell to change it back as far as possible.
