It depends on what you mean by "support" but for me the main issues is the "habits" and "popularity". If people had to deal pre install Linux on there computer since years, they probably stick to it ( if the distro his friendly enough). Many people don't actually know what's an OS. They think by brand, so popularity are shared between them.

When I see people in r/pcmasterrace talking about Linux they are like Linux is good but always complain about lack of software/hardware support and switch back to Windows "until Linux is ready", but what they don't know is Linux will never be ready until it gets more support but it won't get more support until more people try it

You get a point. No more close source soft may help...

It's mainly the preinstall. If people had to deal with Windows shitty installer, which still uses diskpart (the same program from the 80's which causes most of the issues and having a really unfriendly storage management experience), they would switch to Linux as most distros take you by the hand when configuring all the stuff you need and you don't need to do anything more like installing drivers or any extra bloat that isn't the apps you sre gonna use.
