Anecdotal but I bring my steam deck with a dock and M&K with me when I visit family since I don't have a desktop computer there.

Also, the Steam Deck's OS is by far the closest you can get to a traditional Linux distro since it's GNU+Linux under the hood. The built-in desktop mode is extremely close to a basic KDE Arch install, especially after you disable read-only mode. Android doesn't have as full-featured of a desktop experience unless we count Samsung DeX and even then display out is available on a vast minority of devices. iOS has no native display out and iPadOS doesn't even support normal 16:9 screens without black borders. The issue with all of the above devices is that their "desktop" modes are janky afterthoughts while on the Steam Deck it's a core feature.

Is a windows server a desktop PC. If not, why?

If you daily drive it with a GUI, then it's close enough.

Can you think of any reasons why it may have been omitted from these statistics then?

Because it's derived from web browsing statistics, which is something people using it as a server and not a desktop don't do very much of
