This. When it comes to serious use I wouldn't trust anybody who doesn't bother to invest a lot of time to actually learn the system anyway. IMO Windows servers are not easier to learn than Linux servers, quite the contrary actually, but I'm a bit biased since my personal computer runs Linux too.

In my experience the choice is usually made by the familiarity rather than ideology. Windows server can definitely be a better choice if they already successfully use it. And that's the case even if a Linux based server would be actually better for their use case based on some arbitrary metrics. Some are so ideologically challenged that they use both and see no problem.
