    On their own machine, maybe not. On their employer's machine, maybe if the employer demands it.

    I didn’t realize businesses used Linux. Every place I’ve worked it’s been windows and Chrome/Edge.

    It's mostly Windows of course. But some people in those companies may prefer to use Linux, and this gives a them a higher chance of being allowed to do so. I for one am running Linux in a company that's increasingly pushing for Microsoft stuff.
