I think it's actually much easier now to get people on a new OS then it was a decade ago, or in the 90s, or the 80s. The web is so centric that a new OS with a great browser has won half the battle (I could write five pages on how massively better a browser could be than Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc. and I love Firefox and Opera and Vivaldi and Brave.)

ChromeOS has partly proved the point, especially among college students and younger. Anyway, a serious effort at a new OS, a whole new stack, along with a new office suite and other applications, could succeed with the right (large) team and funding. People aren't very loyal to Microsoft – they're not loved. And Apple users have no idea how much better computers could be, but they would if someone showed them.
