In a nutshell, it comes down to apps. Too many that are not available. My daughters best friend has a windows phone, and she hates that they can't "snap chat". One example of many.
Also, Microsoft touch apps are much more boxy and have a lot less snap and polish than their IOS or Android counter parts. I don't write code, but I imagine the developing environment is less fun to work in than other mobile platforms, and doesn't do anyone any favors graphically speaking. This is really what killed Blackberry in the end. Their apps were lame to look at, and looked all too often the way the web used to look on an old school palm phone.. Boxy, and crooked. People want what is graphically pleasing. They want nice aesthetics. Windows 10 looks nice, but apps still look worse than most websites looked about 10 years ago. Therein lies the main problem.
