Wrong. It would. Linux certainly has a better set of foundations to build
on than Windows, and has a head start because of that. But there are more
than enough companies that are willing to throw away that advantage in
order to gain market share. See, for example, a well known "easy to use"
distribution that runs everything as root.

Were Linux to have become hugely popular (in a dominant market share kind
of way), I can guarantee that a large part of that market would be made up
of similarly easy to use distributions.
