That "over 100%" is more significant than you think.
If you use windows primarily, there's a very big chance it's the ONLY operating system you use.
If you use MacOS or Linux, there are most likely windows machines sitting around too.
In my case, I have a windows laptop from work in addition to a macbook. I'd check both boxes, but I've only opened that windows machine a handful of times for esoteric windows issues.
If this idea held true just 50% of the time, then real use of windows would actually be somewhere around 25% and that's assuming a 100% overlap between the Linux and MacOS people (a bad assumption).
Another telling point is the tiny sliver of WSL responses. MS Server is so incredibly unpopular that even the majority of Azure instances have run on Linux for years now. Writing on Windows without WSL then deploying to Linux is a recipe for disaster.
A question where the reader has to infer a lot is a bad question. They should have asked about how much a particular OS is used.
