You should have stated that then, since few if anyone actually uses that. Most popular versions of Linux upgrade their versions faster than Windows, and significanty faster than Debian which is more of a core O/S.
Your argument is technically correct, .nix distros do have more rapid and numerous version upgrades. However, consider the upgrade process compared to Windows.
With most .nix distros when an upgrade or update is offered, you merely click the “OK” button, type in your password, and {maybe} reboot. All done. All of your data and programs are right where you left them, and still, fully functional.
Can’t say that about any Windows version I’ve ever used. Or Mac.
Just for the benefit of anyone reading this...
(I know you know this-LOL)
Ubuntu has LTS versions. LTS stands Long Term Support. That means a Desktop version will not be upgraded or changed and it will be fully supported for FREE for three years, and a server version for five.
Can’t say that about any Windows version I’ve ever used. Or Mac.
Ubuntu also has an upgrade version every 6 months, if you like to have the bleeding edge versions and capabilities that go with it.
Can’t say that about any Windows version I’ve ever used. Or Mac.
Most .nix distros have a software installer package, in Ubuntu it’s called the Synaptic Package Manager, that you simply click to place a check mark in the box next to the software package you’d like, then click ok, and it installs all by itself.
And it’s FREE, as in FREE beer, too.

Really, it’s all about choices. Windows, Mac or .nix. But the point is, it’s great to have so many, and fun to learn with each experience.
