> Windows 10 is such a user hostile OS

That's a bit ironic. Microsoft is only trying desperately to do what Google has already succeeded at with ChromeOS - an OS with no browser choice designed solely to funnel user data to them for data mining and to promote their own services. At least Google are up front about it while Microsoft is trying to dark-pattern their way to the same position.

I think the problem here is expectations—with Windows, you know you’re getting a heavyweight legacy OS with backwards compatibility for everything. With Chrome OS, you have few expectations and assume it’s largely “just for browsing the web.”

I mean, exactly. Google are pretty up front about it, and actually for family members the last thing I want is browser choice. I just want to install an OS for them and forget about it, no nagware, no "it's been a while since you've used your device, do you want to refresh your settings" (I'm looking at you Firefox), no "we've just installed an update, here's 500 new settings to choose from", just turn it on and it works.
