The point is that Windows' biggest advantage is its familiar GUI. The trouble with Linux on the desktop (and in most small business environments where the sysadmins only know how to drive windows server with a full gui installed) is the Linux GUI can kinda suck, and way more people are familiar with the Windows GUI.

My teenage job was to train hotel / resort call center agents on using oracle tools and even a CLI tool (if you've ever made a Marriott booking over the phone) then the person on the other end has a terminal open and is entirely using keyboard navigation. Although different workplaces probably give their staff more autonomy which requires their staff to have prerequisite knowledge.
