I know they paid the highest, but how many of them were there? That's the key metric he's talking about. Was Linux 10% of Humble Bundle sales? 20%? What was it?

Eyeballing H.I.B.'s revenues by platform, they were more like 25%, which isn't bad at all.

Even though I prefer Windows (use & dev), I welcome cross-platform compatibility - more competition, more likely to be usable on future platforms, not locked out myself when I switch platforms, etc.
