time, marketing and more user-focused applications.

Well, it's had years now -- so how much more time?

As for marketing, who's? Windows only needs MS marketing, but Linux has Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE and a small army of other distros. How is a prospective buyer/user supposed to navigate that?

User-focused implies "user-friendly", and there's never been much evidence of serious concern over "user-friendly" in the Linux community.

Apparently people are still more than willing to pay for simple buying decisions and nasty old "user-friendly".
