Agree, in part, certainly the panorama is changing, but fact is that Linux has still only an 4-5% marketshare reparted in several different distros. Well, the Flatpack is an solution, but the general amount of soft m FOSS and also proprietary is still lightyears away from the software catalogue from Windows, simply because Windows is by far the most used OS (I hope this may change in the future, we'll see) and in consequence most soft, incluse FOSS, is developed for this OS. law of the market. Yes, for a normal user with his daily tasks, Linux is the best option, but as said, not for everyone. Linux has it's drawbacks as any other OS. The perfect OS is always the one which best fits the need and tasks of each user, period.
