You don’t know the circumstances of other people. Maybe there is something they need to do and it doesn’t work on Linux or they don’t want to spend time to work it out. Is Linux better for a lot of things? Absolutely. Is it better for all things?. No.
Its not about being better, its about privacy and freedom. Without Opensource and Linux that were defended by people that understood the impact and importance of freedom in the past, we wouldn’t be today were we are now.
Look at PC and Smartphones. Compare WhatsApp protocol to SMTP. Heck, imagine TCP/IP would have been invented and supported by microaoft only. Internet wouldn’t exist.
I don’t have unlimited time and I hate tinkering with my PC. So I just run stuff that’s easier to run in Linux on Linux and stuff that’s easier to run on Windows on Windows. I get that philosophy and for some people who don’t mind tinkering it’s fantastic, but it’s not for me and people need to get of their high horse and accept that.
