I think that's basically how Microsoft Windows basically became the default OS for most PCs, despite there being arguably better options (such as OS/2, etc.). Most PC vendors were installing Windows on their PCs by default (and I've heard Microsoft was charging vendors for a Windows license for each of their PCs, even if they didn't install Windows on all their PCs). Most people would just use Windows since it came with the computer, and there were relatively fewer people using alternatives such as OS/2.
