Only semi-snarky answer: The song and dance of drivers, and not having to reboot.
Plenty of mainstream PC configs are going to be a hassle to get to functional parity on the Linux side. You can complain "it's deliberately crippled hardware/bad drivers" but odds are, the guy buying the fleet PCs are not checking if they're Linux-friendly.
If I just want to run some command-line dev tools, I can probably get there faster by installing WSL than trying to start with a Ubuntu ISO and setting up the nVidia drivers.
