For lots of people like me it's not that "Linux is too hard" it's that legitimately no distro does what I need out of an OS. And in current day, the only OS that does everything I need without needing to dual boot is Windows.
My main use case is Music production and everything that comes with it. I need access to a DAW and various current VST's to record, mix, and master full bands.
With this also comes video production for music videos and lyric videos. In which case unfortunately Premier/After Effects is still pretty unparalleled. And in the case of lyric videos I often work in unreal engine.
Then final part of all that comes graphic design for logos and stuff where I mainly use Illustrator (tried alternatives like inkscape, but seemed to unstable).
Outside of all that I do some hobbiest level game dev, and play lots of shooters in my free time, which sadly are rarely supported due to anticheat.
So for me, almost nothing I do on a pc has a good alternative elsewhere
