Average users cannot be bothered with the plethora of custom options available. They "just want it to work" and not apply thoughts to how to navigate an unfamiliar UI. I'd be quite confident in saying if there was a Windows 7/10 style UI for GNU/Linux, you'd have people more comfortable with making the switch. Ubuntu Linux has made strides in locking things down and simplifying the UI for average (non-power) users. The first big step to making Linux the desktop platform of choice will involve simplification by a large margin, i.e., appealing to the lowest common denominator and then building up from there. Most Linux desktops simply don't have that.
