The typical user couldn't care less about Windows VS Linux, but it makes it difference. I don't know that it fixes the issues, but it might. It's also an option you have because you're on Linux, not Windows. You get a choice, and can figure out what works for you. It isn't ironic, because that why you choose Linux. If you don't want a choice and just want the garbage MS puts out, you don't need to make any more choices. If you want options then you need to actually make choices too (though most aren't permanent, like DEs, and you can swap between them).
