I wanted to take a moment and talk about Linux UX because, let's face it... it sucks.

Actually, it's worse than that. Much of Linux's UX is technically correct and that makes it objectively wrong.

No. I don't want Linux to be more Windows-like. But I do want the most common Linux desktops to behave in a way that PC-literate folks can wrap their mind around — and do so from minute zero

Or you intend to dd an image onto it. Or you intend to turn the entire disk over to a VM and want to partition it from inside the VM. I think there might also be a (rare and esoteric) use case involving PostgreSQL.
