any developer developing for windows is on windows

most game developers are on windows

whole tech sectors have been captured successful by Microsoft in the past and most developers there have to use Windows weather they like it or not, some of them are _really_ big (but also not super vocal or visible on GitHub as they tend to be quite proprietary in all of their actions).

etc. etc.

Idk. how realistic 75% is (e.g. what it counts as developer who/how people where asked etc.) but it's probably a high rate anyway.

EDIT: Also also probably using one doesn't exclude the other and doesn't necessary exclude them running it in a VM ;=)

As a personal aside, I vastly prefer deving on Windows to macOS. Linux I can take or leave, but I just dont see the point really.
