I agree there is an obfuscation of what is happening under the hood in Windows and Mac systems- but that doesn't stop the tech savvy from digging a bit further. I played around with resource files back in my System 6, 7, and 8 days, and got pretty comfortable with registry edits from Windows 95 onwards.
I think it's more that Linux only appeals to the tech savvy, precisely because of the lack of that obfuscation layer.
