I mean it is also legitimately comforting not to worry about how the company making the OS you paid money for is gonna screw you in the next round.

Not been my experience at all, and I use both Windows and Linux laptops every day (lots of testing in my lab).
With some effort I can make Linux power management similar to Windows default (depending on the specific hardware and distro).
Unfortunately the latest hardware often doesn't support true S3 sleep, and depends on the OS to keep it quiescent, which is a whole bucket of a shit show regardless of the OS.
But then my use-case for each OS is different. I don't compare them because they're different tools.

I'm still struggling to make Clip Studio Paint V1 run on it, I ended up having to boot into my windows drive and install it there to download my owned assets, but after changing over my computer to Linux it never BSOD crashes, all my steam games still run, and it starts up from shutdown in mere seconds which is about 1hr 40min faster than Windows 10 LTSC did.
I'm for sure never going back to Microsoft.

I don't think you understand how little, efficiency, is going to work.
I could run my 3080 full time at full bore and it'll cost me $40. That's 24x7.
The average user is taking $10-$20 a year Delta.
If you want people to actually switch, it needs to work. Now where are the 5 nerds here to tell me it's bug free but I just need to get rid of my Nvidia card π
