It's not that Linux is lacking software, quite the opposite in fact, it's lacking viable alternatives to commercial software for which there is currently nothing that can come close in terms of capabilities and/or is as convenient to use for which the vendor hasn't released a native version, or simply won't do so.

So the deeper question is "what makes it not attractive to release a commercial linux version of most software?". Besides the obvious smallest userbase, the large number of distros makes support a very complex topic. Even among the top few, there are some quite big differences.
