Linux Desktop evangelists could never get their head out of their ass enough to bother trying to truly understand why people didn't want to use Linux, so they kept coming up with stuff like this. They sincerely seemed to believe that looking like Windows was enough, or having a set of default applications was enough, or being able to run a web browser was enough, etc. Now that none of that has worked, they've chosen to believe it is because Linux isn't installed by default on new PCs. Anything to avoid admitting the existence of real issues that people actually have I guess.
