    Of course, this is an imprecise science as people have to opt in to having their machines measured but it’s a sign of wider adoption

    They already account for that.

      They don’t, that quote is talking about the steam survey, which allows steam to read what OS the user is using. The point OP is making is that the only reason W11 is more popular than W10 is because Microsoft is forcing the update

        Right, and Valve accounts for people choosing to not take the survey. That’s just how polls are typically conducted.

          You know valve isn’t Microsoft right? Those are two different companies with different agendas?

          Steam asking for consent for a survey doesn’t make up for the lack of consent in updates pushed by an entirely different entity

            Right, and I’m not talking about Microsoft here. That’s why I only quoted the part about Valve’s stats and pointed out that it’s not necessarily an issue that users can opt-out of that statistics collection.
