This is the paragraph that makes the most sense. You use what you like. So do 'we'.. 

I use /bin/bash because I *want* to, not because one needs to... there is a graphical application for [mostly] every task one would ever need to do - and if you simply install any half-decent suite; GNOME, KDE, PopOS! - you have a full suite of graphical apps; same as MacOS, Windows or Haiku. 

I do agree with you that its never going to be 'the year of Linux'... but do think that users [can have] more control of their hardware and create more stable systems using *nix. I don't play games - and for me Linux is the only thing that works.

By all means, use what you love.
