  Don't be disingenuous. All of what you mention are rounding errors in term of market share. This discussion feels unreal, really.

    Right, because "you can't use an unpopular OS if you want your full rights as a citizen, and access to those rights must be additionally subject to a foreign corporation's opinion of you" is totally acceptable. I would go so far as to say that a government requiring any particular technology or private service to be a functioning member of society is hostile to all citizens. If your OS vendor / phone carrier / ISP all close your accounts despite no illegal activity, and your government has no alternatives you can use for essential services, then your government has sold your citizenship.
