It isn't like it shouldn't be easier on Linux either as it already is much of the time. I can open up my command line and type "yay ProgramName" and hit enter a couple times to install most things. Its even easier on a distro that uses a store for distributing applications. But as soon as you get away from that curated selection the process becomes so much more difficult very quickly. Users will give up if it is more complicated than downloading an executable and clicking on it.
