I don't think he intended it to mean "general purpose computing" but "consumer computing," he mentioned iOS in the next line. If you include mobile devices, in the US at least, I can see the argument, although it still isn't a great one considering Android.

It doesn't "reign supreme" in consumer computing outside the US either. Rather, it's hilariously down - Apple has a mere ~2% market share in India (the largest smartphone market in the world after China).

Which is why I scoped it to the US.
