OEL is free, and Windows is most definitely not easier to manage than Linux.

I beg to differ. Oel is oracle, so that's bad news. As for the mgmt, if you already have windows servers, you're probably using system Center. Adding an extra box to that is easier than adding a single Linux box. As for why, I would guess that 99% of apps now are web based. The company I work for build web apps and, yes, we have windows services that run on windows boxes. Most things have moved into iis though...

Sure, but it is still free, and even if you wanted to avoid them, you could go with Alma or Rocky, or even Ubuntu Server, all of which are also free.

Sure, managing both Windows and Linux servers is more difficult than managing just one OS is. That doesn't make Windows easier to manage than Linux, though.
