First of all, many webpages use Linux, so everyone is actually already using it remotely.

For PCs it is, because ppl are lazy and MS made deals with hardware vendors to ship it preinstalled and Apple even have their own OS to preinstall.

Android contains a modified Linux though and also comes preinstalled. So to some degree many people are using Linux on their portable devices, too.

Actually back in the early days of Microsoft before the huge antitrust case, their deal was if you want any computers to license windows, you can’t offer anything except windows on any computers.
