1. There are plenty of computers sold with Linux installed.

2. You absolutely should build the computer yourself. You get a much better computer with best of class parts. And you learn something.

There are a few, but it seems that the best option is usually offered with Windows.

The last 3 machines I bought (for myself and for family members) came with Windows and I immediately installed Linux on them.

What I learned is that I am no good at building computers.

Compared to what?

Compared to a hypothetical world without computers with Linux preinstalled, presumably.

“Plenty” doesn’t really seem like a relative term here, but a statement that there are enough options on the market if someone wants to buy a machine with Linux preinstalled.
