I'm not sure how accurate StatCounter is, given that most Linux users use adblockers. However, according to it, Linux has almost a 14% desktop share in India.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think on my first statement made you conclude that seems I assume all country all same, and It's not what I'm intended, and sorry if it looks like that. I just want to make fun of some 3rd world country law, including my own country.
In 3rd world country, as I seen (you can say this time I made a assumption), there are law, but weak enforcement, so that's why I joke about it. (In Indonesia it has been long time, after satya nadela took office in MS, ofc in US he took leadership, not it ID, and it lead to BSA in Indonesia become inactive, and irrelevant as I seen for past 10 years. Even there are desperate Dev that made ridiculous license that include joke not to pirate their app, and if there are pirated version of their software, they hope their family got curse, have no children, or their children become permanently ill, e tc etc)
I don't encourage any piracy unless it's make customer hard to pay it or the pricing is ridiculous enough and there are no alternative, but better not to do so.
I hope this clarify that it's just for fun proposes and I don't generalize for all country, thank you
