Hi :) Windows tries to be all things for all people on all hardware (not including Arm, hand-helds, netbooks, 'old' or low-spec hardware, phones, Apple hardware, Sony Playstation, embedded devices, servers, firewalls, routers and so on). The result is that it is very slow, heavy and "bloated". It's difficult to streamline for any particular purpose. It's very vulnerable to a wide range of malware and viruses.
Even distros that have the same general idea tend to aim at slightly different niches in the market. Mostly the wide variety is so that very different types of use can still have choices. Between the different distros it is co-operative competition.
