It really isn't for most people though.

You're expecting that people will seek out alternatives. I expect the more likely reality. People will just stop using PCs completely outside of work.

It's not a matter of how easy something is. It's a matter of human perspective. Right now they think of PCs as being "Windows". In much the same way some of our moms would say "I bought you a Nintendo game for your xbox!"

And instead of buying non-compliant software, she actually DID buy an XBox game. And called it Nintendo.

Same way down in the south you might overhear someone order a coke. To which the waitress asks "what kind?" And the reply is "Sprite".

Kleenex/Tissues.

You get the idea. To them PCs are made by Windows and thats all they know. They just know they don't like the AI they gwt forced to use at work. So instead of using it at home, or using an alternative, they figure they can just watch youtube on their phone.

YOU use a PC as a PC. Most other people use PCs as a browser to go to facebook, and youtube, and instagram. All the things that make you cringe, thats what a PC is to them.

So when you say "You can customize everything in linux!", their response, from someone who used WindowsXP for 15 years and never once changed the wallpaper, will be "but why?".

Hopefully that can help you see the difference between "it's easy" and "it's a thought that runs through their brain at all"
