> Windows as an OS is not as resilient as Linux when it comes to non-ideal operating conditions.
I'd disagree with this statement on the grounds that Windows has to run across the most heterogenous set of hardware and configurations of any of the major OSes. That it doesn't fail more often is a testament to its resiliency. It supports the $200 junkbox your gran bought from Walmart to $20,000 enterprise racks and is expected to support all of those different workloads and insane variety of software that can be installed. In contrast, I'd make the case that the majority of Linux distros are running in large data centers like AWS, Azure, and GCP where there's a relatively high degree of homogeneity of the underlying hardware and the operating environment on top of that.
macOS, for example, operates a comparatively limited set of hardware platforms.
