The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

The best way I’ve seen it put is as such “why would I bother with a list of workarounds and janky, barely supported tools, just to get on par with out of the box windows”. Because like it or not, windows is a piss easy OS to get running on, and Microsoft puts a huge amount of work into making compatability a non-issue. If it was made for windows, it probably still works so long as your hardware hasn’t broken it, regardless of how old. Linux just can’t match the sheer amount of stuff that works on windows. And Linux subsystem means you don’t even need a dedicated Linux boot for things.
So all in all, Linux just doesn’t stack up that well as a daily driver. Sure, I have various systems that run it, and they work great, but that’s because I don’t ever use them beyond narrow purposes.
Honestly, my experience was the opposite. When I had issues with windows, which I had a lot. Reinstalling was often the last and only solution. On Linux, when I had an issue, it was a little learning experience and running 1 command. I guess reinstalling is easier… So maybe not the opposite.
I’ve not had to redo windows since 10. 7 was the last time I had an issue that caused a redo which in turn made me go to Linux for a year or two before I had to go back to windows for Visual Studio for work. Been on windows since from 10-11 and I’ve never needed a redo anymore.
Interesting… I think I quit windows shortly after skipping 8 to go 10. So I might haven’t given windows 10 a fair chance
I’ve never personally run into an issue that required a reinstall that wasn’t related to drive corruption. Basically everything has been just a quick restart and the problem vanishes
