I get what you're saying, but it's not really true.

If the only program you run is a web browser, then you're probably right, but only because Linux expects you to know how to use your computer and install updates yourself.

Linux has achieved a very stable OS that offers a very granular experience, which is great if you know what you're doing, but if you don't, it's pretty arcane. The ability to configure everything on your system exactly how you want it to run is a double edged sword.

If you want anything beyond what is offered out of the box, you'll need to interact with the terminal at some point, which is a pretty steep learning curve for the average user.
