I agree with statement though not because of the arguments.

Dual-boot is scary — it can ruin the only computer user has — but live USB is super simple. Shared folders? Put shared data on FAT USB. Start with browser, that's 99% usage. Windows-only software? There would never be 100% parity. Same story opposite way - a lot of programming languages do not work that well on Windows.

Windows is easier because it is familiar, it has a lot of quirks

* why do I need disks? I'd better put everything in personal folder

* right click on desktop to setup display?

* "my computer" on the desktop of my computer?

* File > Exit?

Most of the Windows users would not switch to Linux even if it was as polished as Mac. We know because they don't switch to Mac.
