That statement of yours can easily be disproven: I'm a mouse-pushing 
Microsoft addict, who even appreciates some of their products, and I 
personally think that for desktop systems GNU/Linux is still no serious 
alternative to Windows; and I'm a layman when it comes to administering 
a Linux system (even though I'm a professional software developer), to 
the point that I detest administering Linux systems. But when there's 
serious batch processing to do, I'd take Linux any time, and even go 
through the hassle of setting up a system myself.

So there exists at least one person who seriously thinks what I wrote, 
and isn't an opinionated Linux user.

Believe me, there is.

For rendering a thousand images, the typical approach would be to set

I'm not saying that users such as you don't exist. But they're far from 
"all" Windows users, and they're not "massively" inconvenienced.
