Unfortunately then you will eventually be forced to work in environments without it and feel like you just had a brain aneurysm due to how insufferably slow and clunky everything else is. Ignorance is bliss, just look at all those cute commenters here who think notepad++ is the best thing ever. "It even supports regexp!" It makes the editor wars feel so pointless, but Windows users are adorable.

I have never encountered an OS distribution that did not have vi pre-installed

Everywhere useful has it these days; even on Windows you can get a very capable vim in Git Bash or WSL

I seldom use vim/neovim these days (except for commit messages as it's $EDITOR) but use vim bindings via plugins everywhere I can (Intellij, VSCode)

Sometimes there's issues with these, but they're generally quite good for daily use (although slower)
