I don't understand what you're arguing. You're saying it is lower than 90%? How much lower are you thinking? What specifically is the percentage number in your mind where linux becomes "more viable"? And does it not matter whether it is just a bigger number than before?

I think that I explained it. Here a shorter list:

these statistics are only about Steam games, not 90% of Windows games
90% of games does not equal to 90% players / users

Most players don't care how many games from the Steam catalog are playable, if their favorite game is not. That's the point. And the article did a bad job of making it clear.
