I'd literally rather risk losing everything to a blue screen than use something arcane, deliberately difficult to use, unnecessarily complicated and bereft of any interesting or useful programs.
Linux is great for niche scenarios, like software development, but horrible for most daily use and any critic who pretends otherwise is ignorant or lying.

I've used Windows since the late 90s and I've had infinite blue screen loops before. probably a hardware issue but it's not like this fear is irrational.
Seemingly once a year my windows machine goes into an infinite loop of bluescreens. It's because of my wireless/bluetooth card everytime.
Windows will update the driver during one of it's bug updates, fail, then I have to go into safe mode and install the correct driver. Then it's business as usual.
Windows doesn't seem to care that I told it to never update my drivers, it'll still do it once a year.
For me, it's not that Windows updates my drivers during a big update. It's simply that Windows broke the driver while installing a big update.
I've had it happen where my Wi-Fi driver broke so it could only connect to an unprotected network. So I'd simply setup my phone as a hotspot and download the Wi-Fi driver from the manufacturer's website and reinstall it. That'd immediately fix the issue. Though, actually, that issue hasn't occured in years. The last time it happened, I think, was in the early years of Windows 10.
My kernel panics in fear of Blue Screen syndrome.
Those who know...
Wow, I'm having this issue right now. Forgot my current laptop at home, so I took out the old laptop which hasn't seen an update in months.
Now it has randomly crashed, as one does (reason why I asked for a replacement) and I'm here waiting for windows to install all the updates...
As a linux user (atch btw), there are other OSs as well (bsd, unix, temple, etc.)
There are many OS-related diseases. Many Linux users are affected by or at least know someone who suffers from the compulsive need to mention that they're using Arch. Then there's compiler flag addiction, which can develop in Gentoo users. iDependency, the pathological need to purchase any product Apple releases, has financially ruined many macOS users. Windows users' feelings towards Windows Update and the associated increase in heart rate are known to substantially increase the risk of a fatal heart attack.
Knowing how to operate TempleOS is considered a mental disorder under the DSM-5.
I cannot remember the last time I had a blue screen
I cannot remember the last time I personally experienced racism so it must not be a real problem.
