I work for a company that has a lot of Linux desktop users. Every time my team gets together, usually 20% of the time is spent complaining about LibreOffice crashing or formatting badly, having to recover their laptop after an update screwed it up, or some other non-business fiddling required just to keep the damn thing working.
And then if you want to have a meeting, much of the commercial meeting software, gotomeeting, skype, skype for business, etc. actually works. (Gotomeeting has improved)
The desktop computer is a tool to do a job - there are too many things that just don't work on Linux or require endless fiddling to use or maintain.
