For most people, they are not going to use Linux because A: There is no

That's ridiculous. Unless you are gaming you don't need Windows. If
you're not editing video you don't need a Mac. For what most people do on
a computer (surf, mail, spreadsheets, word processing, photo editing,
media recording and playback, etc.) Linux does it faster, better and 100%
cheaper.

You are correct. In fact, Linux goes where no hand holding is required
because it is stable, low maintenance and low "handholding" requirements.
Cell phones, routers, firewalls, and a host of others.
