Excellent post, and if it weren't for specific programs (Adobe and so on) or the need to develop on a Windows (.NET) or OSX stack, I'd recommend every dev to just use Linux :-)
I really wished all Software publishers made their programs available for Linux. Meanwhile, try photoshopCClinux for installing and configuring Photoshop to work well on Linux using WINE. Works perfectly on my Pop_OS.
In most cases there are open source alternatives (and of course that's more in the Linux spirit), but yes Wine often works ... and as a last resort there would be something like VirtualBox, but then you need to install Windows again, so that would be cheating :-)
Apart from Windows-centric devs (.NET), the most often used argument in favor of Windows are the games that run on it ... :-)
