You sort of answered about understanding the question with your comment about Skype.

Lots of work places are Windows / Office effectively only. Many places have a SOE that is windows only. At home I play games sometimes. Again, that drives Windows.

Also drivers, power issues and various other issues still crop up on Linux more than Windows or MacOS.

Also, working on a VM is nice in a way because it means if it gets stuffed up, just start again quickly.
