Year 2003 called and it said it needs its "Linux vs Windows" discussion back!
\d\d reasons for using Linux... for whom? Regular user? Developers? Digital content creators? Security experts and aspiring sysadmins?
You mentioned DevOps as a reason, well there you said goodbye to almost 100% of regular users.
Relying on community for support... not going to get you far. You need verified actual answers, those answers are rarely given if you stick with community support. Community doesn't give high quality answers, only high quantity.
Affordability: when was the last time you tried to buy a Linux-first computer from Lenovo, Dell, System76 or other Linux-first computer vendors? And then compared prices there with prices of Apple's hardware?
Customizable: when was the last time you customized something on your Linux computer beyond just cosmetics (desktop user interface)?
Updates: oh, should we discuss their reliability? You worked hard on customizing your Linux installation and here comes that touted new update that ruins everything you previously set up.
Cloud computing: there goes platform dependence. Once you say you develop for cloud, the platform you develop on becomes irrelevant.
