Users don't give a damn about "total control" of anything. They buy a PC, it comes with Windows or MacOS. All the software they will ever need is available.
Except the antivirus they must install by themselves.
Linux is written by computer geeks for other computer geeks. Nothing wrong with that. But don't assume that all USERS are 15 year old know-nothing computer geeks like you.
When you assume that computer geeks aren't users, don't you assume
too much? When you assume all users are brain dead morons refusing to
chose anything, don't you assume to much?
USERS are happy to just download the ready-to-run installer/binary and go.
Which is easier on Linux because they can use their package manager when
for Windows they have to find the right website with the possibility to download something else.
IOW, users want to DO something with the computer.
Yep. Even the compute geeks. You refuse to acknowledge that, but you are
just wrong.
The underlying hardware and software does not matter at all
Of course that matter. That's why they change their computers because
they start to become too slow. When the users know they can spend less
to do the same they are often happy about it. They don't all need an
Apple computer to show the world they can waste money because they have
so much of it.
