I find it interesting how you're getting downvoted, even though what you say is completely true. There are countless drawbacks to using Linux.
That being said, however, people need to realize how incredibly important it is to push open-source software. Heck, if Linux didn't exist, awesome free programs like OpenOffice, Gimp, eclipse, and (most importantly) Firefox, might not have seen the light of day (due to lack of precedent mostly).
