no one is going to spend $200 for an OS on a $200 computer
They would if they had to. Lots of people spend $200 on games for a $200 game console, don't they? I just spent $380 on a computer to run on a $20 power supply, because without the computer, the power supply is pretty useless.
The difference is that Linux is now good enough that they don't have to spend $200 on an OS.
