I'm unable to disagree with most of your points, but "I can barely run Windows for a day or two without rebooting." is hyperbole. If this is actually true, there is something seriously wrong with your install. Apart from that, Win10 pisses me off daily. It's insane that I harken back to the Win7 days as often as I do.
I've experienced this on many Windows machines. It's a combination of memory issues, little programs breaking here and there, forced updates, and stuff I frankly don't understand. Together, they very frequently necessitate a reboot after 2-3 days.

This is the problem. It's very easy for stuff to go wrong with a Windows install. They deteriorate w/time. Why do you think so many times we end up just re-formatting a family member's machine? I've had to do that many times, even when malware wasn't an issue.
I've never hard to reformat a Linux machine for such issues, even though I've been primarily on Linux for well over a decade.
