iOS and Android aren't desktop OSes

People use tablets and ARM laptops to do desktop work. Office is for Android and iOS, so they are included there.

It doesn't paint the whole picture but you could've used Steam stats to gather better desktop data.

96.5% Windows
2.23% Mac
1.28% Linux

Thanks for the suggestion, however Steam only collects information from people who use the platform. Not all desktops are used to play games or have programs associated with their launcher.

Even if that were your logic for including them, there's no indication that you excluded smartphones from those totals.

Furthermore, that logic would imply we should include servers in the totals as well but you have said those are excluded because this only looks at desktops. At least be consistent in your logic.
