Let L be the set of all software for Linux and W be the set of all software for Windows.
If there is a subset of L that is larger than W, then L itself is also larger than W.
I was proposing that if you count every image, or every repo, then dockerhub-only or the GitHub-only subsets of L might be larger than W because the effort of creating an additional windows project is much greater than the effort of creating an additional Linux project.

The amount of software in dockerhub and github is entirely irrelevant when you just for a second stop considering just the subset "developers who use linux-compatible tools".
If there is a subset of L that is larger than W, then L itself is also larger than W.
