While I understand your sentiment about Windows, this is how you end up in a world filled with iPad kids who become adults who accept technology that they don't own.
Walking down the aisles of any store selling computers, I can attest to this. If a company can't sell a Windows computer, they will simply sell a Chromebook instead.
Or a manufacturer finally decides to make a budget Linux laptop that starts selling better than expected.
Y'know, some manufacturers used to do this actually, and more might start again.
I still miss my Acer 5315 that came with Linux. It was an instant buy.
Only if we stay quiet.
