We are clearly not talking about the market share of desktops because you are making a personal distinction between the Linux Desktop and the Linux Desktop Experience™.

ChromeOS is objectively Linux Desktop. RHEL desktop machines where only the IT department (and not the employees) has root access are objectively Linux Desktop.

As I already said, yes it's technically a desktop, running on Linux, thus a Linux desktop, but this is not what many people except under the term "Linux desktop". So bringing in any other device which just happen to also use the Linux kernel, is pointless for the question what people consider a "Linux desktop" or not. Especially when those other devices are not even desktops...
