If the UX does not vastly improve even beyond what is currently good by Linux standards I don’t see a reason for most people to switch.

It might not be the thing driving people to switch, but I'd be hesitant to claim that Desktop Linux is any worse than the competition. Like, I don't have the exposure to comment on Apple's products, but Windows is no better than XFCE, GNOME, MATE, or KDE these days, Android is a toy, and ChromeOS isn't better. Like... I know this is weak praise; Windows versions after 7 got worse as they fragmented (have they re-merged the control panels yet?), Android was born a mobile OS, and ChromeOS was always meant to be cut-down, but the result is that the playing field is level.
