Linux on the desktop being popular for people who don’t know how to use bash shell isn’t really a priority in my opinion. Canonical probably has that as something of a goal, but even they focus a lot of time and energy on Ubuntu server, which has no GUI at all.
I understand people not wanting to learn how to use a shell, but ultimately you’re probably going to be dependent upon corporate software for a long time. CLIs are more expressive than a GUI ever will be.
As a developer, I have a company issued MacBook and I spend much of my time in iterm2 on it. The shell is what makes the Mac useful as a development platform. That’s also the reason Windows is trying to accommodate Linux with crap like WSL, because developers basically all want a bash shell. Many of the UI developers I work with even primarily develop using a shell.
