I think this here is probably one of the larger reasons. A large portion of users barely know the difference between a browser and a search engine, let alone the operating system they are using, and nor do they care. People just use whatever their computer comes with out of the box. Most people probably couldn’t tell you the difference between Windows 11 and a Linux distro customized to look exactly the same.
@DNAmaster10@JackbyDev I returned a new computer to Best Buy last week with Windows 11 themed Arch as a bit of cheek. They did take it back but were not as amused as I was.
Because installing a different operating system than the one that came pre installed is a non zero amount of effort.
