If you don't need Windows, or can sequester all your Windows stuff on some VDI, then sure. It gets easier every year. I ditched my last daily Windows driver a couple years ago and I don't even miss it for gaming since I can spin up a RTX enabled host on Geforce Now using pretty much everything I own with a processor in it.

However, in very large scale environments, I'm not sure the alternatives to Windows are quite mature enough yet to deal with the less common situations encountered there. M&A, localization, and offline access to files all come to mind.
