Indeed. Once you include the Internet of Things (apparently
guestimated at 8.4 billion things in 2017) and the myriad other "smart" devices that are not Internet connected - where so much is based on *nix derivations, and where people are often not even aware they are interacting with a computer - Windows might be considered almost inconsequential.
