Although the numbers of folks using those cheaper/free (mostly Unix based) OS options is tiny, the percent of nerds approaches 100%.

Apple/Mac users fall somewhere in between. I recommend Macs for folks who, as you say, "don't really know computer operating systems that well and don't want to."

But the percent of Mac users who are nerdly and actually understand their OS is far higher than in the Wintel world. I'll bet the percent of Windows users who actually know what BIOS is less than 1%. Just think of the millions upon millions of office workers (let alone hundreds of millions of other users) who never do more than boot up their machines, read email, use the Web, and read the occasional Word doc.

Of course, Apple's operating systems are all based on Unix, so they do offer all of that flexibility, but with an extremely polished UI on top.

If you want an OS that gives you total liberty to mess with its functioning, there are PLENTY of much cheaper, and even free, options out there.
