MODERATORS
Your numbers are off. Apple was 7% of new computer sales but the install base was close to 20% because Macs last longer than PCs.
7% is percent market sale. Not sales. Mac's have very rapid EOL as you can't update to newer versions for reasons of revenue so you will so you will actually see more older PCs running than anything and with Mac's declining sales you will see fewer and fewer as time goes on especially since Intel mac's are losing support already
No, current Macs May have rapid EOL but prior to 2015 Macs were much more upgradable and lasted longer than comparable PCs. The 20% market share was during that period.
