It does impact you regarding the depth of hardware support, for example.

Not really? I have a pretty boring, standard desktop PC, with a USB mouse, and a USB keyboard. It's always worked fine.
I'm not sure what your activities are, but in the modern age only having a desktop is highly restrictive. I do have a desktop and I don't really have a personal laptop, and sometimes it is annoying to not have a computer on the go, and mobile devices don't cut it.
Yours is kind of an extreme use case post 2010 or so, I'm glad that it's working out for you.
No argument here! I was responding to the question "Are linux developers even trying to convert Windows users?" with "Nope, we're not."
People have non-standard eccentric setups on windows and it works fine.
That's the difference.
One of my linux systems has a 20 year old sound card, a 15 year old analog video capture card, both PCI, running on a ~10 year old fully upgraded 4th gen hasweel platform with a 1 year old RDNA2 radeon 6700XT card. I can play all the latest games pretty well and its fairly eccentric. I bet windows 10 would have some trouble with the old cards and all my hardware is considered "unsupported trash" by Windows 11
Sure. I don't. Linux works for me, and I improve it in ways I care about, and I continue to not care what others use. Like I said, increasing Linux adoption is not my goal. Improving the OS that I like to use is.
