I don't personally like or enjoy using Windows but one good thing I have to say for it is that it has great backward compatibility: you can get old exe program from 20 years ago without too much of a hassle. It's less of an issue with VMs today but sometimes that's not an option for whatever reason.

But otherwise, yeah it's inertia, people will stick with what they know. Until it completely breaks and annoys them enough and then they'll go looking for something else.
