Most gaming PCs are pre built. Boutiques have been a business for decades. And every major PC OEM has a gaming division.pc building is niche.
PC building is niche, yes, but do you think "almost no one" builds PCs, like OP said? And that's not even including the people who've had to install Windows on a pre-built system for one reason or another.
My point is that OP sounds like a smug Linux user shitting on people who use Windows. Even 5% of Windows users is too big a group of people to be described as "almost no one" simply because of how big the userbase is. That would be like saying, "Almost no one installs Linux" because Linux only makes up a small portion of the worldwide PC userbase.
