A person could go a step further and consider the hardware itself could be compromised.
How many major hardware manufacturers exist? In which case even using a linux box would still be compromised to an extent that non software can really access.
Not shitting on your point, but Google owns android OS as well, I know it's a bastardized linux, but who knows just how tainted it is. I still prefer android over iPhone (aside the 2-3 things that apple legitimately handles better, even a jail broken iPhone is far more constrained than a locked android).
The hardest part about converting is that all business effectively requires windows, so it becomes redundant to have to learn alternative software for nearly only personal reasons. Which is doubly annoying because I can factually name 2 examples where freeware software works as well as software that is used by business in 1000$+ per box per year level. One example being Blender, which is as powerful as the software used by Disney, but free.
