It's the change. People hate change, in general, not just in IT.
IT workers are used to frequent changes and they usually adapt quickly, so it's not such a huge problem for them. But, most people aren't used to change, they like things pretty much static.
I've seen people recommend Arch for a beginner, that's a terrible choice... it will drive potential users away. I usually recommend Mint for beginners, LMDE mostly nowadays, since Ubuntu isn't what it used to be and that will most probably leave a skewed picture to the user of what Linux is. Yes, there are tools that make things easier, but under the hood there is no UI, it's all commands. You wanna jump in, go right ahed. You don't feel OK with that, that's fine as well, use whatever GUI tools you like, LMDE has plenty of them.
Yep, pretty much the truth. This basically means that if, oh let's say, Debian cut a deal with some laptop/PC manufacturers, Linux could actually be used by many users.
