Does Debian have a stranglehold? AFAIK every other distro does the same thing, and all of them for good reasons.

Ubuntu and Arch are about equal market share penetration for the desktop from what I researched with other and steam deck being the main dominant categories. So ignoring corp fleet deployments, I'd say Arch and NixOS have stolen quite a bit of market share from Debian-based systems in terms of end-user preference. But yes, Debian does still have a stranglehold because corp $ are behind Debian-style deployments.
