It all comes down to

User Interface (linux is just not as easy to use as e.g. MacOS)
Applications/Software (yes there is a flatpack (and others) store but it‘s not nearly as usable as Mac App store/windows store
Installation (Most laptops/desktops don‘t have linux as base Model Option)
Security and setup - in Mac or Windows the UI is a base component you mostly cannot destroy using one line of Terminal code
the most user „friendly“ Part of Windows/mac you don‘t have to use terminal, but for linux you Most likely have to

i love mac, but windows in comparison to linux is still more „user friendly“ sadly
