Sadly most people grow up using and are tought Windows from the first time they touch a computer so its quirks and workarounds of bugs are engrained in the users mind.
Uprooting their entire (current) knowlegebase is inconvenient.. but it's still for the greater good of their privacy and in my opinion effectiveness of whatever they do.
The fundamental roadblock here is: people are generally done with 'learning' when they become adult. Not learning computers or software, or anything else in particular. Just learning. There seems to be a somewhat common idea that 'education' and 'learning' is for children, and as an adult, you should have better things to do. Sadly, we can see all around where such an idea leads us.
IMO usually a lot easier than learning Windows too. But I can understand them not knowing that if they've never tried. All they know about Linux is that it's nerdy and technical.
