All your arguments are logically sound and completely miss the main point.

The issue with Linux is not that "it's getting there" in terms of user friendliness. It's that it's not there YET.

On top of that you have the community - just the other day I was searching to solve an issue, found a very similar thread, and the only reply the guy got was "here's a link to the ArchWiki, welcome to the Linux world, you need to figure this out yourself".

My 80 year old mother is not figuring out shit, she's terrified when she has to copy a photo from a USB stick to here Photos folder.

Saying "Linux is fine for the masses today" is just showing how detached many Linux users are from reality.
