Windows hasn’t been my main os for a while but I’m fairly certain you can mount/unmount drives without rebooting.
I work in IT for a living. Sometimes something keeps your drive locked. Windows does not confess. I wasn’t talking about linux user experience because most people don’t use linux like we do.
What companies have you worked for that provide linux laptops and linux desktops to common users? Not developers, not as servers.
I’ve worked in multiple industries. Macs are not rare, but they aren’t prevalent. Windows still has ultramajority market share.
On the server side, tons of things run linux. Maybe if you work for a tech company or are on a development team you use linux day to day, but this is generally a small subset of people at a company. This is not a forum for “developers” but for everybody. Someone in HR, Finance, Sales, R&D, etc is not going to be familiar with linux at work typically.
I don’t doubt that there are companies out there that have linux workstations for normal users, I just doubt it’s more than 2% of the workforce in the western world. It’s probably way less than that.

try making the disk offline and online again using diskmgmt.msc, always worked for me
you also can usually find which process is using the disk. sometimes it’s a windows system process which is very stupid tho
Hmm something does not add up to me very well
