This is a pretty bad argument. You can apply that "you're the constraint" logic to tons of bad designs and products and claim they're not actually bad.

Linux is not necessary a bad system, but usability (degree of effort, burden of knowledge, misuse risk) are absolutely a core determination on where or not a piece of technology is "there yet"

I don't understand what you mean. My non-technical relatives use Linux just fine. There is no "burden of knowledge".
