That's fair enough although I'd argue some desktop environments and Linux distributions are usable very easily. Remember that people like grandma are using "the operating system as a bootloader for the browser" and if they can open Chrome or Firefox they're good.
That being said when writing my response I admittedly had you in mind as the user who simply wanted to save money.
