I don't think it's a popular opinion among people who actually use Linux. But I did hear it as an argument against using Linux or an attempt at explanation why it's not more popular.

Which is a bonkers argument. You still have all that choice out there, a Windows user just chose an option that is less compatible with the other options. There are fair arguments as to why it is impractical for some, but choice is the least of the problems.
