The selection bias here must be pretty intense, if they are showing Apple with a 10% share of the install base and the MacBook Core 2 Duo from 2006 as the most common model.

If you look at the bottom graph on this page https://linux-hardware.org/?view=cpu_family interestingly Core 2 Duo doubled in data representation solely this year.
I know it's unmaintained now, but SimpleOSX VM defaulted to a Core 2 Duo.
Looks like it's successor also defaults to a Core 2 Duo, though with 2 cores and SMT.

That being said, just browsing through that site, it doesn't immediately seem like it's this family of Hackingtosh VMs adding significantly to the list or at all.

VEs are not presented in the database due to hardware identification problem and because people are not so interested in looking for virtual hardware.

If you click on 'Intel Core 2 Duo' then you can find unusual increase in installs of Debian 11 on old macs and macbooks this month. I guess it's temporary.
Wacky. It's great that Linux extends the useful life of such machines, though.
