Why don't companies come out and tell people what they're doing these days? Telemetry is getting to the point where people such as doctors and lawyers might be violating the law by using a modern computer. And people in the defense industry? Doesn't Apple employ thousands of forns? Who's audited their datasystems and ensured that this stuff stays private?

Much easier and better to just stop using it all and move to a system like Linux or BSD. 99% of people do everything in a browser these days anyhow.

This exaggeration is clearly absurd.

The ball is actually not in my court. The original claim 99% should be somehow substantiated. It is not. On a practical note desktop software is being used by countless professionals. There is nearly infinite amount of those tools in countless areas. Amount of small businesses is insane as well and you can hardly find one without some old PC/Laptop running some of their desktop software. None of that would exist if there was no market. 99% claim does not really fit into the picture.
