On the other hand, the layout of Microsoft's control panels is definitely not organized. I have to go into one of the tabs on the System control panel to allow remote desktop? What? The File Explorer control panel doesn't let me control file associations? Come again? Etc... etc...

* Install all your applications in one place, in a nice GUI. Firefox, Chrome, LibreOffice, VLC, Steam, Bittorrent, etc...
* Update all your applications in one place.
* Search for new applications in one place.
You don't get any of that in Windows unless you use Chocolatey, and that's a command line program in PowerShell. I doubt even 0.5% of Windows users run it.

So to be clear, we had different definitions of quality. You meant ease of use and simplicity of use for users, I meant reliability and stability. With ease of use and simplicity of use for users, I think you can make a case Windows has an edge, especially with search. But i don't think it's a large edge, not the hundreds of items you describe. And don't forget the ways Linux has advantages: faster software updates without removing access to the machine, finding all software you want to install and installing it and keeping it updated as part of your system software updates. Much faster install too, though most end users don't have to mess with that.
