It was, but the ticket had veen an overwhelming success that saw many people use the train that would use their car before. So afterwards by popular demand similar programs were launched, but ultimately we are a car country ruled by out of touch dipshits, as everywhere else, so we divest from the good and reasonable thing and instead double down on cars, again.

In my experience it is more the reverse is true. If a program truly craps out on me in windows i could at least get the task manager to show / use it to terminate the offender or reboot, at least back when i still used it.

Meanwhile my bazzite task manager is notably not a native part of the OS and takes a few seconds to load, and if the system is in some sort of frozen screen state my only real recourse is hitting the physical force reboot button. The windows manager could sometimes recover from those.

Overall it is of course a much better experience compared to Windows regardless, but still. Everything being essentially modular pieces compiled into a system can evidently also have minor downsides.
