You should also consider the fact that Linux users are hugely overrepresented in such communities, because there is a large overlap between people who, as a hobby, want to make stuff in the physical world and people who want to make stuff in the digital world.

Catering to 95% of the population is one thing, but a DIY lasrer engraver doesn’t cater to a very large market share of Window’s users.
