Half of the stuff you mentioned already doesn't use Windows.
I've seen places able to include Linux dev machine in their fleet. Not doing it is either laziness, incompetence, or understaffing.
No it's not it's pragmatism. Is it worth putting in all the effort to support Linux in a corporate environment that mostly runs on office suite applications?
If it was a 30 minute drop in solution then yeah by all means we can experiment with it and we can move over gradually but if it's going to require an extensive project it's not worth it. People complaining about this stuff don't work in the corporate IT world, they live in idealised fantasy land.
If Linux was a sensible solution it would have been adopted years ago. No more licence fees, that gets the stuffed shirts happy.
It is all about support honestly. That is where Linux truly suffers.
