>When it comes to workstations or web servers, what the GP said is true: everything outside of Windows/Mac/Linux x86/arch64 (and maybe BSD) is extremely niche

Say the same again about embedded devices and the Netflix network backend if you dare. Also, some compiling toolchains for consoles based on BSD os'es.

Embedded devices are MUCH more than the 90% of the world. Not eveything is a cumputer.

Add routers, switches, and mobile devices and now your "90%" goes out of the window.

If you read the whole thing, my main point was exactly the fact that that percentage is so relative/subjective/difficult to quantify.
