Is it? I've heard of people using a non-Microsoft terminal on Windows besides git bash and cygwin probably no more often than I could count on one hand. And people don't ever use those for the terminal, but usually for GNU. On the other hand, I find it uncommon to see anyone who chooses to use a terminal regularly using the MacOS default terminal, and there is no default Linux terminal. I find it hard to imagine a world where that take is wild.

Anyone that started computing using DOS is very aware of terminals.

If you are going to say that about windows the same could be said about macOS. In fact, I only know of one mac user within my circle that has used the non default terminal.

Anecdotally, at day job, every terminal I see on windows is riced out. The Windows terminal app video from MS probably helped with that lol.

Those millions of users are not at your job, they are not programmers, and they don't use the terminal.
