The fact of the matter is almost nobody really deals with these issues. I'm not saying they don't exist, but their definatley blown out of proportion by the LINUX OR DIE echo chamber that forgets people have to use their work equipment or just want everything to work natively without having to learn bash and a hundred other things to make shit work. 75ish % of computers run windows, 2% use Linux. So an issue that effects a insignificant amount of windows users would be like half of the Linux base. I love Linux don't get me wrong, and use it on my garage computer and other fun projects but my main gaming PC and my wife's PC and all the computers at work all run windows for a reason. I doubt Linux has a good software to run a plasma table or a CNC mill, some stuff u just can't do on Linux without investing more time than is worth.
