The thing you should appreciate is how wildly diverse "general business" is. Will you seriously tell me that office workers can be as productive and happy using a Linux desktop as with MacOs (to not get into unix vs windows bs)? Just the UI consistency alone is a killer on mac. You mentioned puppet and all that but that requires being able to hire people to manage that. Objectively speaking the personell cost alone is significant. 4-5 years ago Linux server admins cost 20% or more more. With desktop I would imagine a lot higher? Not to mention you would need to reimplement ad dependent stuff like dns, and pki in most orgs. And any new IT vendor/product you try to evaluate to help with some business need will also need to be compatible with a Linux enviroment which is pretty specific to you (unlike AD/Windows or Jamf/Mac).
