"Variants" being the key word. It is true that Android has a larger market 
share than iOS in China, but this has zero bearing on the percentages of pro 
audio/video editing systems in use.

If you're counting oranges, and you decide the numbers are not impressive 
enough so you include broccoli (but call them oranges), it's less than 
convincing.

I live in China, and I promise you, on desktop and laptop systems, Linux is 
more rare here than in the US. The prevailing mentality about free software 
here is that it's better to steal proprietary software than to use free 
software honestly: they prefer to crack Windows than use Linux. My students 
(at the #3 or #4 ranking conservatory in China) think I'm a freak for using 
Linux; they find it impressive in some way, and exotic, but nobody wants to 
follow suit. On at least one occasion, someone guessed I was using a cracked 
OSX. Linux is barely on the radar.
