Many been in Windows or Apple ecosystem for literally decades. While some are tinkerers, the majority sees the device and the OS as a single thing. They buy a computer and works until it doesn't and have it repaird or get another.
Enshittification is real (ads in FreeCell nowadays!), but moving to Linux is not an option for many. I can't tell my mom to "just" flash a USB stick and run the installer.
