Because they think of it as a "geek", "hacker", "complex" operating system. [...] People like to have "easy to deploy and start using" utilities. When i first installed ubuntu, it's a pain in the ass.

a) There's barely a normal end-user who self-installs his operating
systems. In the company there are IT departments for preparing the
machine and at home family members or friends who are in IT. Or for
home users even more common: They just take what comes preinstalled
from the shop - and that's where bug 1 gets relevant.

b) If you use certified hardware, the installation is no pain and
works out-of-the-box for the most common stuff.
