I, and most on this site, are like in the top 0.001% of people technically. And I would not immediately know how to install Linux. I'd assume it'd involve researching an appropriate distro, download an image of said distro, find some software to 'burn' that image onto a USB, and then get into the bios, boot from the USB and everything else from there should be relatively smooth sailing, but to call this "so easy" for the other 99.999% of people is ridiculous. Even more so when Microsoft has been pushing hard for boot locking hardware stuff which I have no idea the implications of, besides I expect it will coincidentally make moving away from Windows even more tedious.
Back in the day when we still had a government that enforced anti-compete laws against mega corporations, Microsoft was found guilty, and nearly broken up, over simply including Internet Explorer by default. If we still had any government willing to crack down on anti-competitive behavior, I think the entire tech world would be in a far better place. The EU is ostensibly trying, but I suspect even that will largely just come down to companies accepting moderate sized fines every once in a while as business expense in the EU.
