Agreed. I was just proposing it in to remind people that there is such
a choice.

But retailers do keep track of returns and tend to prefer ordering those
products which don't get returned. It can also be an opportunity to
bring up the existence of "something else than Windows".
E.g. when I last bought a webcam, I was fairly confident that it would
use the UVC protocol and work fine with my Debian machine, but I still
specifically asked the seller if it would work on GNU/Linux (which was
not stated on the box), not because I cared about the answer but as
a way to remind them that there are customers who care about that.
