You need to multiply the market share by the wealth of the participants.

What fraction of the world’s wealth (easier to measure than influence) runs on Android? Elon using iOS has more influence than how many impoverished billions?

This is why German and Japanese are often localized before other languages with more speakers.

Not saying it’s right, but just pointing out the reality. The world runs based on the decision makers, who use iOS.

Lol. If you want to talk wealth, then it doesn’t matter again because people with enough money have multiple phones, iOS and Android.

Does he buy that many phones? /S

I agree with your point, but catering to luxury users certainly has an advantage. Android, globally, is doing ok.
