Macs are surprisingly popular for gaming. I guess because people have them anyways, and they just want to play a game without bothering to install a different OS or buy another computer. Obviously they are not popular with game-ers , but they are some of the most common hardware out there and probably will comprise a large percentage of laptops with discrete GPUs shipping in the near future.
I work in the industry and have access to a lot of sales data.
I don't know GoG offhand, but basically nobody buys Steam games on Mac or Linux even just looking at games available on those platforms. Mac is better than nothing but still pretty bad, and lower than just it's market share. Linux is basically a rounding error.
Linus managed to completely uninstall his desktop enviroment because he couldn't read the line of text that said "don't do this unless you know what you're doing!"
He also said that if all you care about is writing word documents and browsing boomerbook, you could rice Linux to look like Windows and never know the difference.
Also, if you're playing games on PC, regardless of OS, you should be used to having to look up shit, tweak files, and fix issues. You should be used to be treated like a second class.
I'm not going to say that Linux is perfect and ready for the "mainstream". But the reality is that some people are too fucking stupid to make mashed potatoes.
Why waste money on things people don't use?
What next, starting to make games that work on Vista?
Your galaxy brain takes are like a Swiss watch. Bravo.

Humble knows that Linux users pay more for bundles.
