Because people don't have to worry that their third-party hardware might 
not work under Windows, and they don't have to worry that the software 
they like will execute. For desktop experience, the only area Linux can 
compete with Windows in is cost. If you have an under-performing machine 
but still want a decent experience, you're a lot more likely to get it 
with Linux. That's also why I am not even considering Windows for the 
twenty out-of-use computers the school board is going to send me to 
serve the financially-strapped neighbourhood I work in. These people can 
barely afford pencils, so it wouldn't make sense to give them Windows 
and tell them to buy software. However, if you can afford decent 
hardware, there truly is no good reason to run Linux. You can convince 
yourself that it's more secure, faster, lighter on resources or more 
private, but most of that doesn't even matter to the people who 
willingly give away most of their private information by default by 
getting onto platforms like Facebook, Instagram and "free" e-mail services.
