"You don't agree", but people are saying as much in this thread. See the top comments about how the Surface touch experience sucks in comparison with the iPad (and this somehow proves that a "touch-first" device is inherently superior).

There is no technical reason for this; the reason why touch interaction sucks on both Win 10 and current Linux desktop (yes, including GNOME 3) is that we've only just begun caring about it, as hybrid devices have come out (and, to take a slightly different angle, people have started caring more about having a real Linux desktop on mobile, largely touch-driven devices-- see the postmarketOS effort).

I'm confident that Linux desktops will be able to reach feature parity with the touch UX of both AOSP and ChromiumOS with relative ease and in a short period of time (provided that GPU acceleration works properly, of course - the aforementioned OS's do rely on it). And iOS is not far beyond that.
