I would say convenience, my experience is that it just works, and then you get an OS you are fully in control of.

On Windows you sit down to do stuff and Windows needs to reboot and update, and you have already postponed it as long as you were allowed.

Yes there will always be some hardware that lacks Linux support, and the migration to Linux can be bumpy.

In my experience it usually doesn't just work at first but after you get used to it and it's fine. More importantly, if you have a problem you can find it and fix. If you're not happy with how it looks, change it and if you don't want companies spying on you, don't install their software.

Also as someone that sometimes has to use windows I absolutely hate being forced to do updates, like come on I just wanted to turn it off and leave and then I have to wait 5 minutes for it to go through the update and boot again just to turn it back off because it can't remember that I pressed the off and not reboot button.
