> Desktop Safari's market share is about 10%, roughly the same as macOS' market share

Where you're getting these numbers from? Doesn't sound right to me, but maybe I just have a biased sample. I'd guesstimate that 50% if not more of my friends with macOS run Chrome, small percentage (2 or 3) runs Firefox and the rest Safari.

I think they mean market share for all desktop/laptops and not just Macs. https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/worl...

Statcounter and other sites show ~10% for desktop Safari, and 15-18% in richer countries.

Most people I know with Macs have at least two browsers installed, but then most people with Macs I know are fairly tech savvy.

I can tell you, the users on the whole know about as much about tech as a luddite from 1867.

I mean, that's a huge draw in the consumer space for mac/ios. Remember the scale were at here. Something like 250,000,000 ios devices a YEAR.
