People use what comes on the computer. OS usage on the Steam Deck is overwhelmingly Linux because that's what comes on it. This indicates that Linux is perfectly fine for the average person, it just needs to come pre-installed. Very few people install their own OS either way, Linux or Windows.
100% - I was thinking more about adoption for gaming in relation to the article (which I should have been clearer about), but pre-installation is the #1 reason for the lack of general adoption. But I think if the perception of Linux was a little less intimidating, and some aspects were easier (NVIDIA drivers, I'm looking at you LOL), I think people putting together a new PC would have a much more difficult choice to make when flashing the pen drive :P
