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?

This. A huge problem I've found in the FOSS community is that people are often somewhat hostile to making things user friendly. It's a sort of elitism, really. There's a middle ground to be had between apple's walled garden, and there being no barriers against something running rm -rf / and fucking you entirely. Like yeah, it's a bit annoying when the .exe from someone you absolutely trust throws a "this file might be harmful" in windows, but the alternative is your grandma who doesn't understand shit about computers getting ass fucked by every random piece of malware.

    Yea, and for me there's a clear engineering virtue to be aimed for here ... where your systems have smooth and easily accessed grades of increasing complexity and control within a coherent system.
