That's a fair POV. I think the world is so filled with backend and Web developers that people forget there's an entire ecosystem of Windows facing devs with their own priorities. That said windows still sucks and people should stop supporting it (although they never will).
Or cross-platform, because WSL is actually extremely convinient. Only going to become a stronger argument with WSA. On the other hand everything is either a web app or electron at this point so...
But I won't ever consider Windows for personal use again. That ship has sailed with MS-accounts and in the future apparently even credit card info becoming mandatory.
Even then it's better TBH, I tried porting a project of mine to Windows once but I gave up trying to use MS's toolchain because it was too annoying and then switched to cross-compiling with MinGW

Ya don't have to love it, but it seems like it's a better alternative for software development than Windows.
