90%+ on the OS speaks otherwise.

Yeah technically it's not a monopoly because there is Linux.

And Mac OS, which is about 14% of desktops?

MacOS never ever as a 14% desktop market share. Maybe in some states in the US but worldwide it's below 5%. It might reach 14% if you include iOS.

More like 7%: https://macdailynews.com/2019/10/10/apples-mac-holds-7-6-of-... This is actual sales, visibility on the Internet is skewed off by a number of limitations.

More like 4% depending on what statistic you'll believe.

It’s not on OS, but on Word/Excel they are considered monopoly in this context

You might be surprised at the market share of Google docs

Google Docs can't really compete with the MS feature set.
