For me, I switched to Linux because it's what runs on the Raspberry Pi, it doesn't force auto-updates, and it's free.
For a lot of users, modularity is not a desirable feature. If you want things to work predictably every time, tinkering with stuff isn't the best plan.
I don't trust the open source community that much. Mistakes slip by all the time. For the most part, everything is fine, but people's entire lives are on computers. You get the home folder, you can probably get someone's browser password store, then you get access to someone's entire life, including not uncommonly physical access via smart locks.
Some people (not me) even have cryptocurrency that can't be recovered.
Trusting the community fully doesn't make as much sense if we want to be able to have a digital first world.
