I think the reason behind this is fewer Windows users, not necessarily more Linux users.

Casual people use computers less and less often, at least outside of work. The pandemic reversed this trend somewhat due to remote work and especially remote schooling, but the pandemic is over now.

I know several well--educated, young people who don't even have a computer at home any more. A phone and a smart TV is all most people need.

What we're left with now are people using computers for work (still usually on Windows), PC gamers (still usually on Windows) and computer nerds, which are far more likely to be using Mac or Linux. Even people at work are using their computers less, as a lot of non-work activity like internet surfing or social-media browsing, often performed on work devices in the past, is now done on their phones.
