Why this isn't released in EA on Steam - where most of the community is located due to 10 and 11 being there and which has even recently grown a bit due to a quite hefty discount on 11 - is a bit weird imo...
I mean, this data is old, but that wasn't true in 2018[0]
I've been buying new X-Plane(s) since like 1997, I haven't yet used Steam to do so -- the x-plane website is easy to use, offers discounts frequently, and doesn't hold my software hostage behind another walled garden.
I'm not alone, if the modding forums are any indication.
XP-10 was said to have sold over 100,000 copies, but Steam charts shows an average number of players at 2 for 10 and 400 for 11 -- those numbers don't really seem to fit, even for a fairly old game. I presume a significant portion of the install base is done outside of Steam.
