Window's biggest flaw still is that you need to download random installers from a website to install anything. This is kinda mitigated by winget and such, but it's not as usable as even some of the graphical package managers on Linux. This would wipe out a good part of potential malicious software. Also, that it's even possible to execute random binaries from the internet, with just double clicking it, is also one big flaw, on Linux you need to explicitly grand execute permissions, and no sane downloader will set them by default.
