I'll be the one to argue with this then, since no one else has. Windows is not easier to use. People are just used to it. I'll agree there are some cases where it's easier, where you need certain software that doesn't work on Linux, but usually it isn't anymore. If you don't want to put in a little effort into learning something new then fine, though you'll have to when changing Windows versions too. If you want the easiest OS to use, Linux is the best choice. It doesn't behave identically to Windows does though, so you have to be willing to accept change.
I must argue back, sadly. For someone like me who knows how to search the web for exactly the wording that is relevant for my issue, because i know how PCs in general work, how to scour through log files and how to formulate my search terms, Linux is fine, even if it has (still) some rough edges. (why the hell is there no graphical service manager installed on fedora per default for example? I know how to use the command line for this, others might not.)
If someone just want to use their PC for gaming with no issues at all, don't want to research workarounds if you run into hitches or want to play current multiplayer titles, windows still has an edge (even if it's a bit of an artificial one regarding anticheats). If you leave the safe environment of Steam, Epic, GoG and Amazon (with Heroic), and want to just install a game with an downloaded installer, the learning curve gets steep pretty fast for someone who doesn't know shit about computers. Under Windows it's a doubleclick (or a singleclick in your browsers download manager) and clicking next/finish. Flatpak has helped here in some circumstances, but comes with it's own limitations if you don't know why your downloaded program can't access anything outside your home directory for example.
For someone who has used only windows in the last 20 years and is used to a specific workflow for whatever they wanna do (like people who digitize VHS tapes or similar "legacy" tasks), it will most likely be hard to switch over too - and why should they? (We both know why they SHOULD, but it will not be obvious or easy for those people)
Then there is another aspect: if you can't speak english most good sources for troubleshooting are out of your reach. I'm in a german language country - if i had to limit myself to only german language sources everytime i run into some issue, i would have given up pretty soon. Baby boomers in this country have atrocious english language skills in general.
So you see: Everyone should consider Linux, but if you are old, don't have technical knowledge, don't speak english, do some task you have done the same way the last decade ,... the difficulty of switching might be too much without someone who helps them and is available when something breaks.
Most of your "people who should think about staying on Windows" are not typical users, outside of AAA multiplayer specifically (currently, though it looks like EA at least is maybe changing). Yeah, it's harder to play games from sources other than Steam, Epic, GoG, but how many are? If you are, then you're also probably technically knowledgeable and you'll be fine. No one who "doesn't know shit" about computers is getting things from sources besides these.
This is the point I made. It's easier on Linux often (OK, maybe not that niche thing, but who's doing that?). It requires relearning though. They probably dealt with a lot of shit setting the work flow up in Windows. I'm not saying they should change. However, I am saying comparing switching to Linux from Windows is not the same as comparing Linux and Windows. In a vacuum, for the average user, I'm almost certain Linux is easier at this point. Just compare the install process for most common distros to that of Windows. It's crazy how much simpler and easier it is. Is that easier than just doing nothing? Obviously not, and that's not what I claimed.
