maybe because editing propietary formats in linux is hell. (pdf, tiff, (anything adobe))
Lot's of UX issues with GUI programs such as Libre/Openoffice, inkscape, Gimp.
Uncompatible drivers for your hardware.
And it's not the fault of anyone, these things are simply ridiculously hard to implement for the common programmer. These open source projects just play catch-up if they don't become abandoned first.
Also where is the money going to come from for the people who would like to work on this?
Why linux fails to be adopted is the investment of the user is increased in order to do anything. I can't decide if that's by design, or just because lack of care.
