The production simplicity of having a standardized OS and being able to drop in a .exe and have it run everywhere without worrying about building for 1000 system combinations cannot be beat.
Enterprise Linux can fairly consistently be assumed to be RHEL, Ubuntu, or SuSE, with the first two being far more likely in the U.S. That’s not that much to ask for.
That's... not reality even on desktop PCs, and never was. If your business is more complex than selling hot dogs or ice cream (or even that on big enough scale), IT of such company will become a small monstrosity over time, and complexity of such deployments on Unix vs Windows is nothing compared to overall picture.
I see you somehow avoided learning what dll hell is, what various .net runtime incompatible versions are and what optional compatibility levels windows 10 offers.
