while still booting BIOS, which they also don't do. Chromebook devices either
boot with uboot -> depthcharge or Coreboot -> uboot -> depthcharge. I don't
see how this helps your argument.
If one adds ChromeOS devices into the numbers I posted, then the
proportion of BIOS-boot-capable, BIOS-boot-enabled, and/or BIOS-only
devices on the market (and their portion of the total install base) goes
down, not up.
So using the absense of chromebooks in the numbers I referenced actually
boosts, rather than undermines, my argument. Oh, there were supposedly
17 million chromebooks shipped in 2019, versus 261 million "PCs" and
12-ish million "servers".
