Well, the hypers have pushed technical distros like CachyOS to casual users, requiring them to go to terminal to install apps instead of pushing people toward user-friendly distros with GUIs that would make their computers and apps even easier to manage than on windows.
That's how we lose: by overestimating the tech-savviness of people and calling them stupid when they don't get it, as if everybody had a degree in computer ~~engineering~~ sciences.
We are the stupid ones. We are toxic.

I’ve seen it and it’s so weird why would they recommend arch-based distro to beginners. I don’t know much about Cachy itself.
Immutable distros like Bazzite are the way, a beginner should not touch the os beyond installing some flatpaks.
Even Mint or Ubuntu would be better, just because they have large communities and many guides
I think it's because the linux community hyped it, or they saw it in distrowatch's top 5? Or they have a computer science background and don't have much difficulties with technical stuff?
100% agree new users should go for immutable, hand-holding distros. Bazzite seems perfect for that.
