The stats are interesting but do not warrant such a condescending/misrepresentative view; they could easily be twisted around, for example, to say
- Macos has broken browsers and doesn't cache, resulting in multiple font downloads per website browsing session.
- Macos use computers differently? Do they refresh the page multiple times racking up a download count?
The first odd thing about the stats is Linux's share; with a 2% market share it's racked up 10T downloads. A major part of that is Android based browsers, but a decent part of that will be Linux desktop users, developers, automation tests and so on. Overall we should expect users' browsing habits playing a part; there may be a large shift towards mobile/tablet web consumption and reduced desktop web consumption causing a stats skew.
