Consider that his perception might explain why those numbers are so awful. It's perfectly possible for the phones to be accessible to those kind of numbers of users and still be totally unavailable in the outlets a huge proportion of potential customers would look for them.
E.g. I live in the UK, and I can't remember ever having seen a Windows phone in the stores. I'm sure they're available, because I've seen people use them now and again. But if they were available in the stores I've been in, they were hidden away.
You seem to be implying they were much more readily available in the United States, which seems like a stretch.
I didn't imply anything about actual availability at all, but about how perceived availability matters.
To restate my point more clearly, the situation was much the same in the US.
