You “need” that?
In the absolute, you are wrong. Some will. Some have. I have migrated a few myself.
The end of support is a problem for Windows users and therefore an opportunity for Linux supporters.
Will a large fraction of Windows users migrate to Linux? Probably not. That said, more will move if we educate them and offer our assistance. Even a small migration of Windows users would be a significant increase in Linux Desktop users. If 5 percent of Windows users migrated, it would double the number of Linux users. So, moving even a small percentage of Windows users would be a major success.
Why does that bother you?
The irony is that you migrated them, they did not do this themselves.
Tons of people do not have an "IT guy" in their family of friends who would do such a thing for them. And they don't care enough to learn how to install any operating system, let alone one they don't know anything about.
Makes sense now.
It's a figure of speech in an online comment, not so deep that you need to psychoanalyze me.
