But that's merely because of market share. If the majority started using Linux, you'd see the same growth of the app ecosystem. But it's a chicken and the egg problem. Without more users, we don't have more apps/polish on Linux, but without polish, it's not going to get any more users. Do you have stats to back that claim? Isn't the biggest ecosystem of apps ever created on Android (Linux)? We have way more smartphones than PCs.

By sheer number, probably either iOS or Android have the crown. If you remove all the identical games with different skins and all of the glorified web pages, I'm not as sure that they beat Windows - especially considering how much enterprise productivity software exists on Windows that IT teams built for a single company or two. But either way, they each beat Linux user apps by orders of magnitude.
