While I agree with you regarding libreoffice.

My tech illiterate mother got on a lot easier with modern desktop linux than she did with modern desktop windows.

Windows enjoys "ease of use" because of inertia, talk to someone who hasn't used Windows since XP and they'll find KDE a hell of a lot easier than whatever the fuck Windows 11 is doing.

Let's just say Windows 11 is a complete different OS compared to Windows 7 lest 10. That's still not counting Windows 11 being a new OS every couple of months, packed with brand new AI features that literally breaks your entire workflow because it's "more AI".

It's unfortunate that Microsoft is transforming their OS into an advertising hub. You can't login without a Microsoft account and such.

A better direction for Microsoft is to make it free for personal use and charge the businesses.
