    No, its mostly because 99% of people dont build their own computers and because 99% of prebuilts/laptops come with Windows preinstalled. Thats literally the only reason. If all devices came with Linux preinstalled, most people would be too lazy to switch and buy a windows license. This would change the market share of Linux which would immediately cause companies to prioritize making their software run on linux. Its really just corporate inertia.

      That too. But I also know a lot of people who aren’t tech-literate who refuse to consider buying anything that doesn’t come with Windows because “it’s too hard”
