The best one I've ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn't be compatible.

Doesn't seem ridiculous enough.
They probably expect the OS to "just work", so that they can work on other things that don't just work.
A little BS though, but understandable.
