It is probably factually true, there are most likely 10's of 1000's of whom they do not have any data stored or searched.

You obviously need other reasons than usability to explain market share on the desktop.

The usability of the Linux desktop surpassed Windows well over a decade ago, but as you correctly point out adoption rates are close to zero. Even Apple which has arguably better usability than Windows have a very small share of the desktop.

Clearly usability has *nothing* to do with market share.
