Most of the corporate world runs mixed operating system environments. If you plan on working at a company, and will use a computer, chances are it’ll be Windows. Being able to use both is an advantage. In my 25 year IT career across all spectrum of industry, more Windows is used and Linux is niche. But the Linux users typically really know their shit. There’s a lot of skills carryover between the two operating systems. I could get into specifics if desired.
I don’t understand. Why should people run windows?

bec its easy to use,and has all software without “fixes” (wine). atleast those are my reasons for not using linux
because they want to see ads in their start menu, send their pictures to some MS servers and have their notepad.exe crawl and crash because of AI.
you know, all the fun stuf…
Also if they want malware infections through notepad.exe - I can probably accomplish that on Linux with Wine, but it would take more effort.
Edit: I might give up and just send the Malware author a few bucks, out of pity.
Or I want the hardware/software I paid for to work
There’s a variety of reasons. I run Windows because my hardware doesn’t work on any Linux I tried. I don’t like it, but I don’t really have a choice
