Crying about it being different isn’t baby duck syndrome; saying it’s better/worse compared to what you’re used to is.

People just don’t want to spend hundreds of hours re-learning things that already work for them.
It is objectively easier to stick with something you know than to learn something new, so that’s what most non-technical users do.

Pretty much everyone in IT should learn linux at some point though.

If you are in IT I'd hope you know some version of Unix. Consumers I wouldn't expect them to know, they just want it to work and don't care about configurations and how it works.
