That's why numbers from "market share" (somehow measured) over
"usage share" (actually in use) up to "knowledge share" (known
to decision makers) are probably not a good guide to choosing
an OS. Furthermore, systems that do not track "unit sales" or
"registered installations" are completely out of scope here.

And all of them connect to the Internet, using a device that
internally uses a BSD or a Linux, and the bowels of the Internet
consist primarily of BSD and Linux. Add "Linux-like things" to
the mix, like Android smartphones, or "BSD-like things" like
Macs, and numbers might look a little different.
