big reason they use windows is because a lot of front line workers dont understand computers and windows is still the least annoying os to use at least for those people
like yeah 10 and 11 are mostly shit but it beats having to teach the vocational school grad (who doesnt know english) basic bash commands just to do shit he already knows how to do in windows
there is also the fact that junior chinese programmers are more familiar with windows in general and that plays a part, but its mostly for troubleshooting convenience
This hasn't been an accurate representation of desktop linux for a while now.
Outside of installing obscure libs (which you shouldn't be doing on industrial machines) and video editing, most desktops are just as usable as Windows without a terminal...probably more, but idk what kind of software they're running that warrants a desktop OS and not an embedded system.
