You thought incorrectly.
Computer languages, like OSes, are created to fill specific needs. Neither one can be all things to all people. That concept is foreign to IT, and computers in general.
COBOL is geared towrds business / large amount of data in multi-user environments. Fortran is geared towards scientific computing. PHP is programming for web sites, while SQL is aimed at databases. It would be impossibly clunky, if not downright impossible, to design and implement a computer language that would be good at every task.
The same thing goes for an OS. Windows is aimed at people who don't know anyting about computers, don't want to know anything about computers, or just want a plug and play system and they don't care how the computer works. Linux is aimed at people who care about how the code runs, who want the ability to do tasks that cannot be done on Windows, who interact with datacenters, mobile devices, and desktops at the same time.
Different OSes for different needs.
How about FUXedUpTheOS?
The same can be said for Linux users who tell us their grandparents can use it.
But lets see, using Windows (and AutoHotKey) I can easily remap the CapsLock key to ctrl+c, the Esc key to ctrl+v, NumLock to Esc, the middle mouse key to ctrl+x, and with Right Click Context Menu Extender easily add a host of items to the menu, while the ultimate-windows-tweaker-4-windows-10 enables extensive easy customization, and the White-Tiger/T-Clock is a vast improvement over the standard Windows or Linux clock
To some degree you can find some Linux counterparts (though AutoKey is hardly one) but that depends on the distro, and then configuring the depository, which can get corrupted, or you have to find the right command line. And there is nowhere near the depth and maturity of established third party apps to choose from as for Windows. If it were not for LibreOffice and Firefox it would be worse.
I can also usually just right click on a menu icon and find the application exe file, and rename or edit such, which with many Linux distros you cannot, and or require finding more scripts to do so.
In short, i am not criticizing you for finding Linux preferable, but for dismissing Windows users are those who just want a plug and play system, as if they cannot find Windows to be more easily extensively customizable.
In that interest I am still using Firefox ESR., due to the vast loss of customization in Quantum.
