But its not anything that can be compared to Visual Studio.
Visual Studio is hands down the best IDE available on any platform ever!
Worst desktop OS?
You're a Linux fanboy.
Windows is in no way the worst desktop OS.
I use Linux at home and Windows at work. There are things that Linux is better at, then there are things Windows are better at. Then there are systems that are better than both Windows and Linux at some stuff.

If you have a choice of a complete solution that targets most users or use OpenGL together with bunch of other random libraries to get a stack to target all platforms then most business would go for the DirectX approach which has better documentation, commercial support, and faster development time.

Either case, many people don't care.
If you refer to price, then Windows is dead cheap, it doesn't cost much.
Windows can be customized more than most people would care to customize too.
If you want to run Linux on a low-spec machines it means running with some light desktop environment that only appeals to geeks. For normal desktop usage, Linux requires modern hardware.
