How will they run adobe apps and play popular multiplayer games like cod, valorant, siege, finals, league of legends, EFT? How will they subscribe to game pass? How can they watch netflix 4k?
Add in anyone who uses Autodesk products
Fuck Autodesk
There are some games that don't work (yet) but gaming on Linux has come a long way and keeps getting better! You would be surprised, what's possible right now, even Hunt: Showdown or other EAC protected games run now on Linux and yes even League of Legends! Adobe is a hard pill to swallow, because if you REALLY depend on Adobe... That's not gonna happen on Linux. But if you're willing and a little bit open minded to get out of your comfort zone you will not regret the feeling of using free software with your freed mind like Krita, Blender, Gimp, Darktable, etc.
Not everyone need to run those adobe apps and multiplayer games. If you don't, you're in luck and should try linux right now. If you still want to run adobe apps and want to try linux anyway, you can install windows in a vm inside linux, even with graphic acceleration too if you have the right hardware. If what holding you back is game pass, then you're already balls deep into microsoft ecosystem and probably won't ever switch anyway.
Yes, the majority of people are content creator or playing multiplayer games with kernel level anti-cheat and know the difference between 4k and 720p.
Don't overestimate the bubble
Everything moves to browser based, by that time, the OS won't matter, Microsoft realized that too.
The people who can't tell the difference between 720p and 4k seem like the least likely to try changing their operating system.
