Because, it is really the last thing that windows did better than Linux. There are many reasons to switch Linux. Having control over your computer is the primary one in my opinion. Maybe I made a poorly worded argument, but the fact that windows can just change your system is on you is incredibly frustrating. I haven't used Windows in almost 10 years, and I don't think I've missed much. Recent advances in wine and proton make it incredibly easy to run windows software, and for the few things that don't work there are arguably better alternatives.
