and it's very easy to learn to use linux, so the statement holds.

I think it's probably much easier to follow a guide to boot windows from an SD card than to learn a new OS, even one as user friendly as modern, major Linux distros can be. Just the years of muscle memory alone will probably make it easier to boot Windows.

For you? Maybe.

For the average person. It's a a confusing nightmare where nothing has the same name and nothing is in the same place and none of the programs they want to use work.

Spoken as someone who has never worked tech support a day in their life.

Not even saying Linux specifically, but you don't know users. They have issues with things they should already know how to do, let alone learning new things.
