Being the single OS that has had a chokehold on the prebuilt computer industry for ages doesn’t mean it’s popular. It’s also used in tons of workplaces where people don’t have a choice. High number doesn’t automatically correlate to “popular.”

I didn't mean like people's choice popular, I just meant most used. The more something is used the more memes you'll see about it's issues.

Yeah, that makes more sense. More users automatically means there will statistically be more complaints due to sheer numbers.
