That's not entirely true these days, Mac market share has gone up from 5% to ~15% in the last 10 years while Windows sits on its hands.

I'm not sure how you can look at Windows: 75% MacOs: 15%

and then try and dispute what I said. Those numbers aren't even close.

Sure, maybe MacOs is growing, and less niche than it used to be. I'm not disputing that.

But come on here.

Which still means that more than 5 out of 6 computers are not Macs.

Which is as diametrically opposite of the industry standard as you can get.
