I've been daily driving Linux for a long time. It's honestly still not for everyone.
Anti-cheat is still a problem Roblox is still a problem. There are still plenty of programs that people are intimately married to the don't run well under wine. You can't just tell them you can't have Photoshop Premier and Outlook anymore. Arguably a number of the people who don't fall under that criteria could be running Chromebooks.
And honestly we're not going to properly support them when their autocomplete software doesn't run under Wayland or parsec doesn't support server mode.
It's great that you either have the chops to fill in the gaps or don't run the software that has the gaps, but you really can't ask everyone to do that right?
