but is there any compelling reason to switch to Windows 11

Windows 10 is set to sunset at the end of 2025.

That's just a reason to switch away from Windows 10, not a reason to switch to Windows 11. Though you can still use an OS after it's been sunsetted. Some people still use Windows XP.

I've got a Linux iso ready to be tested, a willingness to try out some other options, and an intent to pick one of those without even bothering with windows 11. I've only heard negative or neutral things about it (other than the multiple desktops mentioned in another comment, though that isn't unique to Windows 11). Up to this point, I've not even been willing to entertain considering windows 11, but now I'm willing to at least hear the pitch. Is there anything other than inertia that makes people want to use Windows 11?
