Companies are a tad different and this could be a big problem with adhering to security and patches. It's a big problem with companies doing this engineered obsolescence (stares at Apple) and making products that work trash.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about banks during my time as a developer, it’s that they’re on the oldest version of windows they can get to run.

This, many businesses will consider Linux for various devices.

It'll likely start as "Oh we can use it to deploy for, this this and this, and avoid putting Windows here and here, to save X dollars" as certain applications in business are not available on Linux, but others will be. It will be a slow transition in the business world. But they will do it.
