I installed Debian + KDE on my mom’s laptop. She hasn’t had a complaint since. How tech-savvy is she, you ask? I’m sitting with her right now, so out of politeness she put on headphones to watch her favorite soap opera. Mind you, the headphones weren’t plugged into the laptop. She was sitting there, headphones on her head, sound coming through the speakers, watching her soaps like this is how it’s meant to be done.

Yeah, that's kinda my point. Why would I? If it came on laptops out of the box? I'd use it. But as someone whose job description lists excel as "a plus, not required" Why would I have installed Linux in the past 10 years?
