This logic is flawed. More than 90% of computers having Windows doesn't imply that 90% of all computers in a given household runs Windows. What's the probability that your household has a Windows computer if you're a programmer that don't live with your parents? What if that programmer is an open source contributor. Surely not 90%.
This counter-argument is flawed. Why limit oneself to one's own household? (Garage? Basement?) Get out more! Visit a friend. Talk to an internet cafe owner for a special deal to run one's own programs. Rent virtual machine time in the cloud. There are many creative, flexible, low-cost possibilities. If one wants to.
