(1) I work in a scientific field and a specific laboratory that uses data analysis software for which there are only Windows versions. I used Linux exclusively prior to joining this lab. I'd rather not quit this job because of a Linux snobbery affliction. (2) Gaming. I have a Windows machine at home because I like to play modern video games. Good luck trying to get them to run on WINE, which is a cheat anyway if you're a Linux purist. (3) There's nothing wrong with having a dual boot Windows/Linux system for the sake of convenience. I'm not going to waste time booting into Linux just to write scientific documents if I'm already in Windows.
