Cloudflare stats also seem to support peaks of 15% usage but around 9-10% on average.

Honestly I think the cost of new hardware is at least as big a factor. Linux makes what is old new again, Windows says fuck you, buy more.

(And also the new hardware is 10x more expensive because our AI division already bought it all. But fuck you, buy more anyway.)
