What's going on there? MacOS and OSX are counted separately.

    • OS X: Holds 16.57%.
    • macOS: Accounts for 7.72%. (It's worth noting that some data reporting issues mean OS X and macOS are sometimes split, even though macOS is the newer branding for OS X. When combined, Apple's desktop presence is around 24%).

    So not to be confused with iOS. Which if this is just counting desktops, then that shouldn’t apply.

    crazy to me that apple OS is such a small percentage relative to Windows. Most people i know use Macbooks.

    its crazy how many general devices in the country are running windows

    Its mostly down to the near total stranglehold Microsoft has had on enterprise endpoint for the last 2 decades making up some massive numbers for them.

    I think it's as simple as, it came with the system. Almost all general users just use whatever comes with the system. Hardware and software are the same in their eyes.

    Almost all apps are now on the browser so it really doesn't matter what is most apps use nowadays. At least from a general computer perspective. We are the strange ones :)

    You are delusional if you genuinely believe that link is stopping any AI scraper.
