When you purchase from Humble Bundle, they don't know what platform you would use to play. All they know is what platform you're buying from.

People who use their Android phones to purchase and pay Humble Bundle, get classified under "Linux". You can see big Linux platform numbers even for bundles that don't have a single Linux game.

But they give you an option to indicate it. Which isn't any worse than a survey, but focuses on actual sales in contrast to what Steam publishes.

Steam's survey reads the platform - the user has almost no role in actually filling it out beyond saying 'yes, you can collect this data'. This makes it significantly better than requiring each and every user to act to specify their platform.

Steam survey isn't comprehensive. HB sales are counted for all users. So I'd say the later is actually useful, the former is just some oddity.
