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?

That may be true, and I'm glad that improvements are being made, but it's not the display. It's not the sound. It's not my keyboard backlight (which got locked on maximum brightness). It's that with Linux, getting anything working requires hours of troubleshooting. Probably if I understood the system better it would only take minutes of troubleshooting, but developing those skills would take months to years. I don't want to invest that sort of effort just to write papers, check my email, take notes, do CAD, and play games.
