Windows Recall remains controversial a year after its announcement. Now, the Brave browser has taken new measures to "protect" users from the feature.

      The situation is much different for gamers. They might have been thinking of the Steam survey where Windows does in fact have 95% adoption:

      Interestingly, the percent of Windows goes down if you look at just the United States, where it’s only 63% of OSes. And it also goes down similarly when you set it to the UK, or North America, or almost any other region. But it goes up to around 73% when you limit it to Europe or Asia. Weird, why is it higher in those areas?

        Because it’s mainly a measure of how much people use Macs. Apple products were always significantly more popular and “hype” in the Anglo world than anywhere else. 5,5% global vs 16% in USA, for example

          Interesting hypothesis

            Unless you’re tech-savvy and actively change your OS, people just use whatever is shipped with their computer and, yea, Apple isn’t nearly as popular outside of the English-speaking world as it is within it, at least when it comes to laptops. The share of Linux, and other smaller systems, is probably roughly the same.
