Is this 2006? Linux is present on literal billions of android phones, servers, supercomputers and other embedded devices. It's the most ubiquitous OS on the planet and it's not even close, even Microsoft contributes to it.

The only niche where it doesn't utterly dwarf the competition is personal computers and it looks like we're all getting priced out of that anyway

I was 100% sure that somebody will throw this, but I didn't actually expect to do it from a throwaway account. Maybe because you know calling Android Linux is like calling a human just an ape (but mirrored because you know, Android in this case is the ape). Oh, and Microsoft Loves Linux, right? Because that's why they invented WSL, to make people go and use Linux, right? riight!!

    Moving goalposts. Android is Linux (the GNU part of GNU/Linux is trivial to add), people use Linux knowingly or not, and Linux is on the most devices on Earth regardless of whether their users know it or not.
