I'm sorry, how is "greater than 50%" not the same as "most common?" Either it's two players with 51% and 49%, in which case the 51% is "most common," or it's many players, with 51% and a bunch of other percentages that collectively add up to 49%, in which case the 51% is still the most common, perhaps even more so. I'm not shilling for Apple here, as Android was clearly most common From 2011-2021, and still is world-wide. If anything, I'm shilling for the English language.

The issue isn't the figure 50, it's the drawing pool. Thread-initial description was 50% of the market, which is ambiguous. It could refer to either the market in sales, which indicates highest growth, or the market in userbase, which could be the layman's “common”.

> Either it's two players with 51% and 49%, in which case the 51% is "most common," In a market the size we're talking about, 51% and 49% are effectively the same as 50-50. I think it's reasonable to say neither is the "most common". They're used equally. And I don't know the margin of error on the figures, but I'm sure it exceeds 1% anyway.
