Sure, but I don’t see how any of that disproves the current “M$ supremacy” for “normies” - the fact is that people who couldn’t care less about how their computers work will have a much easier time using Windows (and probably macOS) than any Linux distro. You don’t have to worry that some software won’t be available to you because of your choice of the OS, and if you ever have a problem it’s easy to find help.

I haven’t used Windows in a decade on my personal computers, but as long as these two things hold true, it will always be my recommended OS for people who simply don’t care - I’m not going to spend my time doing free IT support for everyone I know and then get blamed everytime something doesn’t work.

Annoying warning keeps showing up at boot -> bring the PC to the nearest computer-literate person, and they’ll fix it. Good luck doing the same if you use Linux.
