76% versus 16% for the next highest. Is it really worth the argument? ed: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide/ https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide...

  Market share != profit share when it comes to app ecosystems.

    That depends entirely on the region you are targeting. There are parts of the world where the IOS users are around 3% (eg. India)

And usually 100% if you're in a big company/typical corporate environment. Not everyone targets the whole market, and lots of companies are windows-only, for better or for worse.

  That may be true for the market as a whole, but tech companies tend to be very MacBook-centric. Windows tends to be used by some managers and a handful of graphics/games engineers. Or the cut-rate contractors they won't spend on for MacBooks.

    US-tech companies, and comparable countries.

Lets assume your numbers are the right ones, 76% is no business to throw out of the window (pun intended). Plus there are these other toys called HoloLens and XBox.
