Why does it seem like any issue with Windows is met by "INSTALL LINUX!!!!". If the check engine light on my car comes on I am not going to buy a truck.
Yeah you could probably just install Linux on your car and bypass that light instead of buying a truck.
Why spend a lot of time installing and configuring and learning a bunch of stuff when I just want the error code cleared?
Because in this case, the error is "we've detected you're not drinking Ford branded tea, click here to subscribe to our tea service!" along with many other codes that aren't that hard to individually clear but gives a clear indication of how MS sees its userbase.
