A developer who mostly targets Windows wouldn't. But if you

According to Google on their Android Developers Backstage

Assuming that's accurate it's indeed interesting information
about the current state of affairs, though it doesn't answer the
question of how that changed over time and how it's going to
continue to change (the latter of which being the basis for my
speculation).
Have they released that information somewhere officially (with
additional information about how they acquired the data, etc.)?
