I play plenty of AAA games on Ubuntu (example: the latest Mad Max), so that's definitely not it. Also, a lot of computer users are not interested in games at all.
The issue is "the long tail". For example, if my favorite game (extra points if it's from 2000 and abandonware) doesn't work on Linux, why should I switch?
If my camera which I already own isn't on Linux, why should I switch?
If I'm running an office and I suspect I'll need a Windows program in the future (almost guaranteed, if you want some off-cloud accounting or billing or business-logic software), why should I switch?
I use linux everyday, practically only play football manager,but in steam practically doesn't exists AAA games. Mad Max from 2015?. No fifa, no call of duty, no last AAA games. It's the reality.

You might have a point about MS Office.
