The desktop experience Windows offers is often a lot better than the desktop experience of Linux. Then there's also the issue of Linux hardware support which often is not optimal. Also a lot of people need to use Windows for work and don't have a choice. And then there's the possibility people actually like using Windows. Having a full Linux terminal in your Windows desktop environment is the best of both worlds for a lot of people.

Almost everything in it is better than a multi-billion-dollar company's monopolistic OS shell somehow, from the taskbar customization to the features (disable compositing, deep customization of effects and behavior, have windows remember size/position, etc.) to the file manager, Dolphin, which has split views, tabs, had a dark theme a dozen years ago, more file metadata to show optionally like date modified and size, thumbnails for even text files, terminal integration, and more (although technically that's an independent package available on any DE). The exceptions are how "smoothly" windows glide around the screen when dragged and that the Windows taskbar looks slightly better.
