That's an incredibly wrong assessment. People don't use Linux because it's not pushed like drugs by hardware manufacturers. It's that simple. Linux is at a point where it's actually way easier to install, use and maintain than the 2 other major players out there. Add to this the diversity of DEs, ways to make things work, customization, etc.
