"The likes of LibreOffice, Gimp, etc are certainly fit for purpose"

Depends on your purpose. LibreOffice isn't fit for purpose for delivering my coursework, because LibreOffice docs don't render the same on my examiner's copy of Word.

GIMP is in no way a replacement for Photoshop.

" but until Photoshop, popular accounting and business software, games run natively on Linux, most users won’t consider switching."

I keep considering switching, every time I see that irritating Windows 10 login screen with the advert text on it, every time it randomly upgrades and is unusable for hours, every time "telemetry" consumes all CPU; but there are so many apps that are Windows only and don't have alternatives.
