I can see that happening… People somehow refuse to learn, yet at the same time they run to computer-savy family / friends whenever their windows breaks. I put a dead stop to Windows support for my parents ages ago - I told them “if you won’t let me teach you how to help yourself, then I can’t help you anymore”
Oh I’ve got a mini PC for Linux, and a Legion Go S for gaming, but I need my main one for work.
Much easier to use Windows than convince thousands of customers to swap and rewrite 20 years of code in something else.
Ah, work. Understood. I migrated my work tasks away from stuff needing windows to avoid that dependency :)
I did advocate for Linux at one point, but any issues quickly became my issues for recommending it, so I stopped.

Most of my family finally got Android tablets. Most of them never really needed a PC to start with. Email and browsing was about it.
we were too old for that ;)
