Maybe because most users were using Ubuntu and Debian, as the cited
numbers suggest? They come with H.264 and AAC support out of the box
(Ubuntu perhaps through universe, which is enabled by default, but not
supported by Canonical).
Could be. This is anecdotal, but when I talk to people about why they
chose $OTHERDISTRO over Fedora (which I try to do *a lot*), I don't
tend to hear this either. The main thing I get is: "I wanted to get
started, looked, and there was plenty of help and documentation for
what I wanted to do in $OTHERDISTRO, so I picked that."
I used to hear a lot of "I can't handle the update cycle", but
(possibly as I try to talk more to people outside of the sysadmin
background I come from), I think I get that less recently.
I'd love to have more real data to work from rather than anecdotes, of
course.
