I had a point by point response, but I don’t think perpetuating this discussion is productive, so I’ll just leave you with the friendly advice that adopting a judgmental, nearly religious fundamentalist, and authoritarian approach to FOSS feels like it violates the spirit of FOSS itself and will likely be off-putting to even other FOSS enthusiasts, much less anyone you want to convince.

You seem to attribute to character flaws what is more commonly just practical decisions.
- Familiarity
- More games/better gaming support
- Consistency with computers used at work/school or by friends/colleagues
- IT people can benefit from using the same systems as their users to provide better support
- Availability of proprietary software necessary to run specialized equipment
- Non-power users might not run into significant issues with Windows since it does basic tasks like web browsing, game playing, and movie watching just fine
