It's simple math. 97% of the population uses those two operating systems.

There isn't much more incentive to go after the 3% Linux users. You know the population that loves free and open source software and isn't exactly known for dropping a bunch of cash on software. Not to mention it's a fragmented 3%. Even the flatpak, snap, app images of the world that were supposed to make devs lives easier are fragmented across distros.

Android called. They want their representation in your statistics. Android is Linux.

No one's doing this kind of work on their android phone, so you're argument is pedantic at best in this context.

But is it gnu/linux?

Meme aside, that's a good question... I wonder how much GNU made it into Google's implementation. Someone here probably knows.

none. Android uses just the Linux kernel, not the GNU user space tools.

That's why Android is normally not counted as Linux, it's basically a different OS using the Linux kernel.

linux is a kernel
