The assumption was that nobody used win8 lol
But again I think people who grew up with 10/11 are more likely to use the windows store than you think. They used an iPad before they got a chromebook before they got a windows computer. My little cousins don't play minecraft Java, they play minecraft bedrock. I don't think they know what VLC is.
I mean, it may be higher than I think, because the amount I think is pretty low.
But I don't think it's the default. I am not THAT detached from younger people. iPads and Chromebooks are very region-specific options.
If you have numbers to any of that feel free to share them, because this is very far from a binary thing. There are literal billions of Windows PCs out there and that split isn't going to be 90/10 (which would still leave you with hundreds of millions in the small bit anyway).
