And who makes up that share such that his point would be less valid?

For who?

        That doesn't prove that influencial people mainly use Macs. It's probably an US thing, where Apple has an higher market penetration. With a global 8% is highly improbable that most wealthy and influential people use Macs. Also, for 4 billion people in the world (China, India and most of Africa) the most used operating system is Android.

        I didn’t assert that. I’m responding to this: > I have never seen a Mac in a Bank, an Insurance or a financial institution I worked in a financial institution, all the programmers were issued a MBP.

      The data bears this out - maps of Apple product use match wealthy areas. https://www.businessinsider.com/android-is-for-poor-people-maps-2014-4 https://www.businessinsider.com/android-is-for-poor-people-m... I don’t know why it would be implausible that wealthy people use expensive products aimed at the high end of the market.

        USA is only 5% of the world population what happens there is vastly insignificant outside of it. Android is on 75% of European phones, the CEO of the fortune 500 company I work for uses an Android phone, same goes for the vast majority of the management there, many highly influencial politics own Android phones, that's simply a spurious correlation https://tylervigen.com/old-version.html https://tylervigen.com/old-version.html
