There are a lot of reasons people didn't embrace Ubuntu when XP support ended. 
To reduce it to "Linux is hard" isn't being fair. There's not a ton of brand 
recognition outside of technical people. Heck, most people that aren't 
technical didn't care and just kept running it anyway and used whatever the 
next thing they happened to buy ran. Many people simply run iOS/Android these 
days.
