No, it's because it actually is easier and more intuitive.

Linux is out of the running entirely except for people that need nothing more than a browser and media player.

MacOS has a kooky paradigm that people get used to, but isn't as intuitive as the classic launcher menu and task bar approach.

Windows had a ton of issues, and not particularly user friendly error messages for a while, but since XP it's been the leader in usability.

Of course with 11 they are really doing all they can to throw all that away...
