Windows and MacOS (and their closed source derivatives) are probably at least as large as Linux, even including all the servers Linux is deployed on. Proprietary UNIX did not "die out"; Apple sells about a quarter million of them every year.

The majority of the world's computing systems runs on closed source software. Believing the opposite is bubble-thinking. Its not just Windows/MacOS. Most Android distros are not actually open source. Power control systems. Traffic control systems. Networking hardware. Even the underlying operating systems which power the VMs you run on AWS that are technically open source. The billions of little computers that form together to make the modern world work; they're mostly closed source.
