Being able to configure every single aspect of the OS and virtually all major applications, Microsoft or otherwise, using a single applocation that can apply rules dynamically based on user, device, user or device groups, time of day, location, battery level, form factor, etc, etc. Nothing on Linux comes close, especially when simplicity is a factor, and until it does most large organisations won’t touch it with a barge pole.
