3840x1080 at 60%?

1920x1080 not in the list?

I'd of expected that to be the most popular.

The 60/20 of two 1080p and two 1440p seems right, but how is there another 50% of “other”?

Probably can’t resolve monitors with distinct resolutions into one large one. How would a 2160p and a 1440p setup be displayed in this list?

That makes sense, but if 50% of setups are that way, shouldn’t the rest also only add up to 50%? There’s around 150% listed here

Probably based on what the actual monitor resolutions are and not just the raw multi monitor result as you can create an almost endless variation of those when you start matching the resolution position based on the physical location of the monitors.
E.g in a setup like this even if both would be 1920x1080, you'd end up with something random like 3840 x 1428.
