The big advantage of those three is you have it pre-installed. Pre-installed with forced defaults in very powerful.
I see people using edge, never realising that they're using edge. Asking to install very expensive office 365 suites for very simple documents and power points. Word can't even display text properly, most people don't notice because they don't know any different.
Linux needs a better Ubuntu. One all the Linux users can easily recommend. That manufacturers can be confident shipping on laptops.
Once that hurdle is cleared. The user has Linux pre-installed, the manufacturer provides all the necessary drivers. Linux is often easier to resolve issues with. The settings are clearer and better laid out, dependencies are better and easier to manage than windows. Solutions are easier to find and implement, they also don't change unexpectedly.
