According to Statista, 61% of software developers used Windows in 2022, and it was similar in precision years; however, it seems like some amount were dual-booting (Windows + MacOS + Linux/other Unix adds up to more than 100%) [1].

Given that, why didn't Windows users establish something like Mercurial as the standard, given their majority/plurality status? Or did something like that happen?
