Because it does everything I need it to do and if I run into issues I can't solve myself I know that just because of the number of people using it the problem will be known and a solution will exist.
I don't mind playing with Linux on my RPi, but having to use it daily and always having to use command lines to deal with things (thus having to search for the right command line every time) gets tiring.
For the most part Windows just works out of the box and there are things I would much rather do with my time than searching the depth of the internet to find that one person that had the same problem as me and that might or might not have found a solution to their issue...
And as other people mentioned, my computer is mostly used for gaming these days so it's easier to use the platform that's the most widely supported for that purpose.
Guess we just have wildly different experiences. For me, whenever I had a problem with Windows I had to look up solutions online and pray that they weren't outdated yet. Microsoft apparently likes to completely redo the layout of their settings every couple of versions which is super fun...
For Linux I mostly read the manual, if I even have a problem.
