Its precisely because the monarchies and their wealth were never fully destroyed in these countries.

These royals have a lot of power in their local economies because im a lot of cases they still own a shitton of estates and land (not to mention investments, connections and as you said institutions).

It is in the interest of the local bourgeois to at least support the continued existence of the royal family as that gives them potential access to these resources.

The royals also create a shitton of propaganda, so some people see them as a needed part of the countries culture or some historical artifact in need of maintaining. A "living monument" or some shit like that.

Letting windows install on its own drive by removing the linux drive (otherwise it will select that drives efi partition), I use systemd boot and I just copied the EFI/Microsoft folder from the windows drive efi partition to the linux efi partition systemd-boot will auto detect it. As for minimal, just use windows 10 ltsc, or windows education and use a debloater tool that is trustworthy (I like winutill).

Momentum, support and compatibility.

There are also other OS'es like FreeBSD and openBSD that are relatively widely used and a whole host of vendor OSes like IBM's IAX or Z/OS or the open solaris derivative illumos (all unix based), not to mention the embedded real time OSes that you find in a lot of cameras and such.

The common thing among most still in use is that they are old, well tested, stable, have a lot of software developed for them + they are in most cases compatible with a lot of different hardware, these things need time and money to achieve and people aren't going to develop software for an OS that isn't going to be used because it lacks those features.

That's not to say people aren't still writing new operating systems, they definitely are, it's just that they'll never get as generally used or well known as the mentioned 3.

I've been using wayland almost exclusively since 2020 because x-org doesn't support multi refresh rate setups and it was driving me nuts to have everything run at 60hz. It's been pretty smooth sailing because I use an AMD gpu. I have to admit that steam is indeed a lot buggier under wayland, I try to use gamescope for every game as that fixes most problems I have with them. My hope is that proton will use wayland for most games by the end of this or next year.

Debian's wiki states that "Wayland is used by default in Debian 10 and newer" (on gnome, It's also the the default for plasma 6 but that'll take some time to get into debian as you say)

as others have pointed out, you can use systemd-cryptenroll to add your tpm as a way to unlock the disk at boot, security of this should be fine if secureboot is enabled (for this to work it will need to be anyway) and a password is set for the uefi. See the archwiki entry for setup info (command is as simple as systemd-cryptenroll --tpm2-device=auto /dev/rootdrive, also the device needs to be encrypted with luks2, no idea if zorin uses that by default but you can convert luks1 to luks2 {backup ur headers first!})
