Windows network resource sharing is relatively easy by simply creating shares by
right clicking folders. The is done through the explorer interface and the
NetBIOS system that has been a part of Windows networking for years. Linux on
the other hand requires a bit more knowledge in how to export shares on the
server and mount these shares on the client side.

Although I will agree that Linux has a powerful set of tools, the features of
Linux (and Unix) are based on an entirely different achitecture.
