This is a terrible way to evaluate companies/people, and it comes off as a “Linux person” who refuses to understand why companies use Windows.

The fact is that Windows has leagues more control features (Group Policy, etc.) than Linux does, and those features are required for any kind of sane management of an IT landscape, and are also required in many industries for compliance reasons. And no, Ansible etc. is not the same thing.

The better way to evaluate is to discuss why they chose that tool for any particular job. Linux is often the right answer for servers, and Windows often the right answer for end user computers. But there may be cases where a specific case is better suited to a different tool.
