I don't run Zorin or Elementary, but have looked at them... they've been around for several years now and have put a lot of effort into being a good option for the typical user. A LOT of people are just fine with a working browser and maybe Steam for their games. Most people aren't doing a lot of tinkering and in concert breaking things doing so. It's a perfectly reasonable option. Beyond this, having had catastrophic fails in both Windows and Macs over the years, the typical user isn't equipped to handle them either.
