Slow down.
There is a lot of old Windows machines still in use.
In our house we have about 6 computers in use. Just not at the same time.
I have three, my wife has one, and my youngest has two. But that
does not include a couple of other machines I have upstairs that
still run, just in different stages of set up.
So I am not the average user, but I know many families that have
multiple computes in use. So sales is a good indicator. What do you
think happens to the machine that gets replaced? You think it is put
in a dump? It is used by someone I assure you that.
Years (Decade and a half) ago I populated my home (and gave each of
my kids a computer) by recycling the ones I took in trade when I
installed a new one.
By the way population rates are one of the indicators of what is
happening, just not the only one.

all that matter.
That is disingenuous. We are talking about computers in use. Your
method would be like stating the US population by just counting births
instead of looking at how many people are really here.
