Market share. I know it's a meme but seriously, push Linux on people who will benefit from it.

My girlfriend is totally non-technical but I set her up with an old laptop running Debian and after a few months she loved it. No ads, no popups selling cloud storage, no forced reboots, and it doesn't crash. That's one more browser hitting websites without Windows in it's useragent string.
