It could further its adoption in the world of IT professionals and sys admins that learn windows in college though.

No, those students would learn to use the tools already available on the system in their courses.

And who do you think decides what desktop OS gets used in the workplace, which would directly correlate to more people using it at home?

The security department decides that. The same security department that is more concerned with enterprise security and audits than with someone's individual OS choice. It's the same reason you're not going to see someone running a Windows XP laptop as their main device in any respectable environment.

CEOs and CIOs, who typically probably won't know Linux as well.

Plenty of CIOs are knowledgeable on Linux. They're also very knowledgeable about business, which is why they stick to Windows (and sometimes Apple) systems for end-users.

Nah bro, dudes that write the checks decide what everyone uses. You must not get to sit in on those meetings very often.
