I also had doubts but there are statistics (arguably not representative) that seem to confirm this: https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/fun (See GPU drivers and add(might not be the best idea, I know) the nvidia numbers...)
It might be machine learning stuff which heavily leans into nvidia hardware

Just adding them all goes way beyond 100%, so it really is not the best idea.
In general, the market share (as in GPUs sold, in total, for all systems, not just Linux) was around 70% Intel, 17% Nvidia and 13% AMD. This was before GPUs turned into inobtaniums, so I guess Nvidia and AMD didn't improve their positions much.
Yes, there are ML guys on the Linux side, but that could be compensated by gamers on the Windows side, so I assume that if anything, Windows would have more share of Nvidia than Linux. Miners don't really care for desktop.
There is a place where Nvidia achieved significant share - it has 70% in Steam hardware survey. That is to be expected, gamers are heavily biased towards Nvidia.
Where did you get that data? Nvidia doesn't even have that kind of market share (Intel absolutely rules there).
