I think what’s different now is that way more “mission critical” software is now web/Electron based. The lock-in just isn’t as strong as it used to be.

Yeah. 10-15 years ago, I remember that a few things were keeping me on Windows - gaming, some killer apps (iTunes support, OneNote for note taking, best in class MS Office support), and general hardware support.

I now look at my Windows taskbar or macOS dock and there is pretty much nothing that I can't use on Linux. I guess there's no official Google Drive desktop client yet but there are other solutions people have recommended to me. My Spotify/VSCode/Obsidian/1Password critical stack works just fine on any platform.
