With the popularity of WSL2 amongst developers, the actual number of people using Linux as a daily development environment would push the statistic much higher than what is being recorded.

I mean, it's a running joke about the year of linux on the desktop, but it's been quite a while since that meant anything at all. Most casual users of computing devices have long switched to phones.
