Most of the annoying stuff that Linux users hate about Windows are because Windows has to cater to even the least technologically knowledgeable users.
It is why Windows updates are forced, why so many files are locked behind SYSTEM user and can't easily be circumvented, why some settings are registry or Group Policy only, why some settings are opt out, ...
Without those, their support center would blow up.
So if Linux wants to become mainstream, it will have to cater to those users as well. And Linux will slowly turn into Windows.
Isn't that the whole idea of GNOME? Always considering users as stupid and lowering the bar?
I won't stand any gnome slander, get out
Some distros maybe, but I'd say that instead we'd quickly have another golden era of malware.
