People are just believing in the status. In the old days the sales numbers from individual businesses were the focus. Nowadays they are used as a console indicator for sales.

Steam blocking people from accessing API sell means Valve can lie without proof.

If you play Genshin Impact, a false god was believed to be their god for years. Only it wasn’t their actual god. This is the same thing, Valve wants people to believe in the status and they want people to not question it.

But why would they want people to believe in the status of Mac being much higher than it is? Or Linux?
