This is really interesting. I've felt the opposite.
I remember thinking about Windows a lot: how to get it to work better/faster, for example. I used Linux as my daily driver for 20 years.
Then I just got tired of having to Google obscure Linux issues, edit config files, and reboot all the time. I wanted something that just works.
I went from using three OSes (macOS, Linux, and Windows) every day to using Windows and now honestly never have to think about it. It's not a joy, it's just... nothing. Everything works flawlessly.
I did get one of those telemetry killer apps, but otherwise it's all just stock Win10 Pro.
