It's also possible that the hype simply died down. Windows 11 forced updates have been done and forgotten, internet has moved on to the next thing, and people who tried switching to linux started encountering small issues and inconveniences with new games or the system and moved back to Windows.

I can very well imagine that someone who switched "just for the memes" will give up once a first inconvenience pops up, and it eventually will no matter how you look at it.
