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

Then your bubble isn't even close to being representative of the world

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 :)

At least in most part of the world, Apple is actually the rare choice.

  1. Generic PC (Windows/Linux) is cheaper
  2. Less American stuff on your PC, your PC manufacturer can be local.

Almost 25% isn’t that small.
