So?  Is that somehow proof that there's not just as many (if not more) 
using Windows/Android/etc?  Likewise, is an absence of Linux YT/TikTok 
users supposed to be proof of them not being a moron...?  Or is it a 
data void because that OS doesn't support YT/TikTok?  Know your data.

Likewise, just what does a claim of using a PC in "Law Enforcement" 
supposed to convey in terms of relevance to the OS?  That it can support 
Apps which can send/receive email with photos?
