Bash is like 70% of Linux users.
And can just check for .bashrc, .zshrc and whatever the popular shell uses.
The diversity argument is moot. If anything it just prevents software from being available on Linux due to small differences causing big inconvenience for business software authors to be worth the hassle. From security perspective, most of Linux desktop is Glibc + almost same set of base C libraries + SystemD + Sudo + GNOME/KDE whatever. Having 2-3 choices cover 95% is not a barrier for security exploits.
Rob Pike told in 2000 that Linux has put back computing. It's not exactly Linux but the so-called "community" with their luddite attitudes.
Linux Desktop is a cult.
