They don't!
They often don't even know what an "operating system" is.
Yeah. But only a small percentage, I'd say 30% max, actually ever make such a choice. And due to the dependency on DX, most chose Microsoft, but not by affiliation, rather than by constraint.
There are alternatives - at least for the end users. For the hardware devs, it's not that easy. And this is where the problem lies.
And many - me, e.g., use the standard (windows) because we're too lazy to pick anything else. If I got to choose the OS that came with the computer, I maybe would have picked another.
