I’d love to not have to deal with Linux at work, but this really reads like someone who has never actually dealt with the realities of a corporate environment.

Yes, Linux is free, but staff time isn’t. Who cares if multi billion dollar companies spun up their own Ubuntu derivatives - there are maybe 100 companies in the world with the resources to make that make sense. Yes, AD and Intune suck but they are still miles faster and easier to get stood up than trying to build all the infrastructure yourself with Ansible or whatever, especially if you aren’t already a tech shop.

“Oh you can compile your own kernel” how is that going to make it easier for the accounting department to get their shit done?

“You don’t see viruses on Linux” is a semantic argument - Linux systems get hacked all the time.
