The big difference being that most people don't know or care to learn how to download their own OS. Installing a browser is quick and easy in comparison.
I've been out of the tech world a minute now so maybe its changed but last I knew no PCs came with Linux preinstalled and you can't just get a Linux OS disk to use to install.
