  The two platforms coexist, I don't know why we're even talking about
Winblows being "ruined". 

It's just ignorant GuhNoo drooling.  No substance to their fantasies. There never has been, for 30+ years.

It's ruined simply by outpacing the hardware
people typically have to boot it,

Win11 Pro runs fast on my low-end system:
item and current new prices:
AMD 5600G chip  $139
MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk mobo $140
Crucial 16GB DDR4-3200 memory  $33
nVidia GTX 750Ti 2GB single-fan video  $124
Team 256GB NVMe boot/app drive  $23
WD 2TB   SSD  data/storage drive $189
Total $648
It's not easy to even find a prebuilt AMD 5600 system more expensive than that.  So Win11 has NOT outpaced low-end hardware.
The benchmarks on my system are low, but in use it's fast at everything.   The most noticeable bottleneck by far is copying big files to my HDD backup drive.

Linux provides a usable alternative,
but people stubbornly, patiently put up with M$.

No duh.  Windows runs all their home and work software, documents, and games.
I can plug my iPhone into a USB port and it shows up in Windows Explorer right away (after I hit 'Allow' on the phone).  At that point I can mostly treat the iPhone as any other storage device.
Can you plug your Android phone into your Debian system and read the picture files just as easily?
