Pretty sure that for most things it’s simply that there’s one software that’s way above the rest or you simply have no interest in the fields where people debate what is best and on Linux you often are stuck with the one software that does the trick because there’s not enough demand for real competition that pushes devs to come up with something as good as what you’ll find on Windows.
For desktop environments gnome and kde are excellent and force each other to improve
I don’t think Libre Office has a good competitor aside from Microsoft Office which hardly matters in the open source world but Libre Office works in windows too
There are several file explorers, many terminal emulators
