lets be real windows isnt polished either. the windows control panel and settings situation highlights that.
At least they work.
I've always had issues with Linux that I'm happy to solve and capable of solving but a regular computer user would not know what to do.
I got into IT because troubleshooting Windows gave me a lot of experience. I don't think there is anything that comes to mind that would make apps less likely to have bugs then on Linux.
The only exception is gaming where a lot of game studios have years of experience with Windows APIs that they tightly integrated with in the past. Less needed now, but that's developer inertia for you.
