Understanding the fragmentation of different platforms is useful information to a developer.
And that's why I bought it up because percentages of things of so dissimilar size doesn't have much practical value. Yes, a Windows Store app can at best right now only reach 14% of Windows users. When the number is used to talk about one platform this percentage has meaning. It would also have meaning when comparing different platforms of similar size. It's meaning fades when speaking of percentages on platforms of vastly different sizes.
Right now, virtually 100% of all Windows 8" tablets run 8.1. But what meaning would that have for developer if I then compared that to say 10% of Android 8" tablets running Kit Kat? It doesn't really.
