There is also nothing stopping you from creating your own distribution that has whatever features you want. Linux provides it's users with infite choices while on Windows a lot of those choices are made for you. Because linux is developed by users it often lags behind in some features, I predict we will see more AI integrated distributions pop up. There is a general distrust of Microsoft with this rollout, how many Microsoft programs do you close out of only to find it still running in the background? I haven't tried recal or windows 11 yet but I'd be concerned with my job (announced the switch to 11 starting next month) suddenly using it as a way to start monitoring employees because now the feature is "built in".

The non-existence of those features stops me.

....yes, you'd have to make those features yourself. There's nothing stopping you... except a lack of knowledge.

You can make those features on Windows too, there's nothing unique about Linux in that regard.
