It isn't about % of users lol, that's a fight you're having with yourself, and now I'm wondering if you think the % of people who use their own home-built trains to get around is comparable to the % of linux users. It's about user experience. Sure, if you NEED your car to go offroading the subway may not be the best option, same as if you NEED to play Destiny 2 you may not want to use linux, but for most people who just want to get around the city the subway is the best option, even for the people who moved from out of state and are used to their car so they don't utilize the trains. For most people who just want to browse the internet (or a myriad of other non-windows-exclusive programs), linux is actually better than windows, even if those people are used to the OS that ships with their computer.
Analogy holds up.
Oh! And Tl;dr, jfc my guy.
Recompiling your OS kernel: "I'll do that shit, sure. It'll make me feel SO MUCH SMARTER than those WintelBox Sheep."
Reading about 300 words: "Nah, too long."
EDIT: Also, you say it's not about % of users, but that really is just your opinion. Things WOULD be a lot different, if there were significantly more Linux users. I won't bother to elaborate on how exactly I think things would be different, because I realize you don't like reading.
Never had to recompile my kernel unless you mean
sudo dnf update -y
which yeah I guess would be hard for someone like you.
