Every person with a job needs someone of app which doesn’t work on Linux. If you’re a teen still studying in school, then yeah, use Linux.

I use Windows at work (it is a corporate laptop) but I don’t use a single app which is Windows-only and irreplaceable. My current job isn’t technology-focused, and I don’t really use anything except standard office-related software.
In my previous job I was a software engineer and also used Windows (same reason; corporate laptop) but again everything I used would have worked in Linux.
People should use whatever platform works best for them. I’m a Linux user at heart, but I’m all for using Windows if that’s the right tool for the job. But it’s not a “grown ups need Windows only teenagers can use Linux” thing. Most working people would do fine with Linux or Mac.

I have 800 users at my work that would say otherwise. Those are software that the entire civil engineering, geospatial, and architectural world rely on to make infrastructure. So, I’d say many users need those.

Yes but it’s relatively. I have 800 users right here that doesn’t use any of that stuff. Just saying it’s not really a block for 99% of users because all they do is surf the web and play games.

Over a hundred million people use Autodesk products. Entire essential industries are built on these software. Pinning that all on 1% is disingenuous.

Does Wine not work for those tools?

A professional place will certainly have requirements that differ from the common people.

Yep. From my point of view, it would be nice to at least have to option to switch users over. Tired of Microsoft’s shit.
