In my experience many people use Windows computers are their work. Because they don't know anything about computers, they find the somewhat different way of doing things on ChromeOS too hard to come to grips with.

My parents are 88 and 87. They retired in 1996. Their computer experience while working was accessing a logistics management system and office productivity software via a terminal connected to a Data General minicomputer system. In the early 2000s they bought Windows laptops and used varying Windows laptops until a couple of years ago when they bought Chromebooks. They have had no issues adjusting to ChromeOS.
I'm a Windows user and I experience issues from bugs much less frequently using Windows than using desktop Linux distributions. I was also a Mac user for almost 10 years and have not been impacted any greater by bugs in Windows than macOS. Both are greatly better in this regard than desktop Linux.
One caveat. There was recently an article on HN proposing that ChromeOS be considered as desktop Linux. If you do so than ChromeOS would be the exception for desktop Linux. I haven't had anymore issues with bugginess from ChromeOS than Windows or macOS.
