It's not so much that Windows is easier to understand as it is that Windows is simply more common and therefore more people are familiar with it. If you had to get stuck at the Windows command line in recovery mode, most people would be just as lost as if they'd gotten stuck at a Linux command line without X11 running. Desktop Linux these days has gotten pretty intuitive -- I introduced a friend to it a couple months back and he went and installed it on his laptop and rarely boots back into Windows anymore.
