I’m making two distinct but related points:

1. Windows 2000 was visually like the 9x series. XP introduced a whole new and very memorable look, subjective opinions aside. Even if you used Windows 2000 in your workplace, it was visually non-distinct from the Windows 98 you’d have at home.

2. Windows 2000 was for business use. Windows XP unified the segments.
