Windows lost that crown years ago. Nowadays many people are using Macs. And most are using Android or iOS for a lot of the same things we used to use Windows for.

Anyway, the last sentence is irrelevant. I honestly don't mind whether you're using Windows or Mac or whatever. Why must it be phrased as a competition? I can use the system most suitable to me and my goals, and you can use the system most suitable for you and yours.

Can you imagine someone saying "There's so many different kinds of bread because people have opinions and disagreement, plus traditional recipes and market freedom means everyone can start their own bakery and do their own thing. Meanwhile, rice is still king of the staples."

My choice to eat bread and run Linux is independent of your choice to eat rice and run Windows.

Only rich people in North America and Western Europe, there are many other countries out there, where average salaries hardly reach 500 euros per month.

Mac market share is insignificant outside North America and Western Europe.

The point is; if this mission to create a Google-less alternative is so important and necessary, why not join force with the people who are already working on said alternative? Surely, having all these developers working on one project would be more effective than having all of them working on multiple similar projects?
