But as to why - well you lose a lot of the broad nice things about windows, like software working out of the box and generally broad support for all number of things, but in exchange you get the ability to customize your system to any level you want. A good example of this is the choice of desktop environment. Which is something that's set for you on windows. Do you want to use Gnome? You can use KDE if you don't! Or you can use XFCE or Mate or LxQt or Cinnamon or Pantheon or one of the many tiling window managers instead... Or you don't need a graphical environment at all, there are many tasks you can do through the command line alone.
