I also took issue with that sentence. I agree that it's less and less true. I've also been recommending mac or linux mint to the computer illiterates in my life because windows is so unusable (and actively user hostile to boot) that I simply won't deal with it at all under any circumstances. Last time I tried to help a family member configure regular backups on their windows 10 machine I couldn't figure out how to achieve the desired outcome between the three separate settings menus and a total lack of clear explanation (on system or in documentation) about what the settings meant and how they'd behave if the computer was off, actively in use, or whatever. I might just be stupid but I'll tell you I've never had to spend hours chasing up that clarity on modern Debian based Linux or even Mac (which is just awful for never communicating settings clearly). I suppose I'm just saying that I agree that I don't understand why people bother in a long winded way.
