Yeah like the example dudeface give, Dell have been offering Linux options since a decade ago in my country. Just have to go to their commerce website instead. Same with Lenovo here.
And both of them offer Ubuntu with the expected discount of a Windows license.
I assume Canonical did a lot of legwork to make big brands like that to adopt Ubuntu. IMO it is still the more well known Linux distribution that seems more suited for the non techy segment of Dell and Lenovo customers.

Idk, I still think it has some merit. It can reduce a lot of troubleshooting when something not playing right. There’s 1001 things that can go right and wrong with PC gaming. Reducing the hardware to near zero with a standardized rig takes a lot of headache off IMO.
Some people just want to play games from Steam without all the pc gaming hobby’s baggage. They probably already have other fulfilling hobbies they learn from. What’s wrong not adding another hobby to go down a rabbit hole?
Maybe I’m too optimistic
