MODERATORS
Even if that's true it doesn't invalidate the 10% market share, I doubt that all 57% of Windows machines are actual users.
Statcounter says on their market share page for macOS that they can't really reliably show usage stats for anything past 10.15, due to a bug in Apple WebKit. The actual market share of macOS is very likely much higher.
