I agree with the web based apps point. It seems like most things, especially for the average user, are web based. That greatly simplifies the Linux use case, not having to worry about building and installing very many applications

Yes, case in point: My kids.
They were raised using Macs / iPads. My oldest is now in college and I gave him my "old" laptop (2019 era) to take with him. I told him he could reformat to Windows if he wanted or just try Linux since it was already configured.
He's never used Linux before and has been using for the past year, completing online assignments for school, etc. He was using Chrome anyway on the family Mac, so from his perspective there has been little change....
In fact I think the change to Windows would've been a more jarring change than to Gnome/Linux.
