#1 is just not being the default for 99% of devices. If someone gets a new computer, why would they go through the effort of installing a new os when the one it comes with works fine? Hell, I bet at least 50% of people in the market for a pc don't even know what an OS is.

70%*
- Self updating without user interaction per default.
- Better support of codecs and drivers.
- All of the basics should just work well out of the box with minimal tweaking. Yes even NVIDIA stuff.
- The software center needs a massive overhaul. It feels like an afterthought by people who would rather use a command line.
- Installation process of Linux is complicated to an average Joe (Bootable USB/ISO file/Boot priority/format <- what are these scary terms?)
- Lack of availability of pre-installed Linux PCs at physical shops
- Lack of availability of industry-standard software
- Confusion for an average Joe due to excess choice of distros/application packaging format. Average people don't want choices, they want to be guided.
- (Minor point) Most available guides for doing something heavily requires terminal usage which can be daunting to new users
Speaking from experience, from a long time ago, and from the people/family I've installed it for on older machines: It's different. That's 90% of it.
The people that had little to no windows/PC experience actually took to Linux a lot easier not having to relearn/change habits from windows.
