Not enough profit for the shareholders if the school is free. Also, how can they pay for the biggest military in the wolrd if they keep funding needless items like school lunches and resources.

The average user doesn't install windows though. They buy the pc/laptop with Windows on it already, and use it till it's in the ground.
And I cannot just install ubuntu/mint on a laptop for someone and walk away either, cause if/when anything breaks, the fix isn't approachable. And trying to tell someone to use the CLI when they're not tech savvy is not user friendly.
I've been running debian as my main and my home-server OS for a couple years now. And I'm really happy for it.
But it hasn't been smooth sailing. I'm even on fully AMD systems. There's a bunch of stuff, biometrics and otherwise, that just doesn't work without random workarounds or even not at all.
And this elitist approach and tone is what turns a lot of folks away from even trying linux. Also, sure CLI might be great for a lot of devs, but regular users do need a GUI. And that is not fully there yet.
Jellyfin and Immich jave stayed as mainstays after like 2 dozen projects I've tried on. That and a Samba share.
