Linux gives you the ability to be your own system admin.
Most people don't want or need that and have been steadily handing over more and more admin duties of their systems to Microsoft, Apple and Google since smartphones have become widely adopted.
But Linux is totally usable to anyone who had enough admin skills to run Windows XP and not get totally wrecked by malware. It's just a matter of learning.
This makes sense for the edge case of power users. The general use case of Windows won't learn to be their own sysadmin.
Only power users want to be their own system admins.
A regular user just wants stuff to work.
