It depends. I recommend windows when people say they don't want to put any time into learning a new os.
Or gaming. While I can game without any issues on Linux i sometimes have to tweak sth. Or have issues that I as a veteran can solve easily. I wouldn't recommend it to newcomers.
I guess it's still true if you want to get that perfect Arch install, but I'd imagine most people still saying that now had a bad experience many years ago and are unaware of how simple and smooth it can be nowadays.
At first I was like "When I open windows, I let cool air in helping my pc to cool off better, what do you mean it's less efficient?" Then it hit me, oooh the other windows.
