There is extreme value in making the computer do something extremely well without having to care about "properly managing it", you are leaning towards a "No True Scotsman" situation, audio professionals might be noobs with computers, to the point where learning yet another skill just to have a functioning setup is not worth it if there's another solution on the market that doesn't require it.
The stereotype of Mac users being bad with computers is... Well, just a stereotype. The difference being: Linux requires you to be good with computers, there's no other option, if you aren't you simply cannot keep a well-managed system, that won't ever have mass appeal.
