Others are completely irrelevant for desktop users buying laptops at the shopping mall.
Thy are relevant to those desktop users who want those features. Those users are unlikely to be buying at shopping malls, because you cannot get Linux preinstalled or be sure of getting supported hardware if buying at a mall.
Irrelevant for a class of desktop users, does not mean irrelevant for all. The article makes no claim about who its relevant for: it is a list of things from which people might discover capabilities they are interested in.
"Just use the terminal" is somehow simultaneously a defence of windows while being a attack of linux. If I have to engage with the system on a deeper level I rather not do it on the proprietary blackbox with opaque knobs playing whack amole.

Given the Year of Desktop Linux, not enough apparently.
Do those capabilities require a more expensive edition of Windows?
Not necessarly, only knowing the Registry, WMI or PowerShell knobs to touch upon.
