99% of people just use their OS as a browser frontend. They don't care about freedom, privacy, security, etc. They will just use whatever OS comes pre-installed. Thats why Linux's greatest success on the desktop/laptop market as been ChromeOS. Not because it's any better than Pop_OS!, Debian, etc. It's literally just that ChromeOS comes preinstalled.
