I think the bug is incorrectly stated in the bug report. It does not matter if Microsoft, or Apple or Google or another large company's products have the majority "market share". The bug is that most of the software used is not free (libre) software.

This can be broken down into several smaller bugs:

(1) Not enough people know about the existence of free software;

(2) People believe free software is buggy, inconvenient, hard to use, does not have the particular features they need, does not work with the file formats they may need to use, or with the hardware they have. In many cases they are right.

(3) People don't understand why free software was important
