No, because they're a specialist site, and it's their own logs.  Look at
the disclaimer at the bottom of that page, quoted here:

"Statistics Can Be Misleading
"You cannot - as a web developer - rely ONLY on statistics. Statistics
can be misleading.

"Note: W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web
technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative
browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use the
browser that comes preinstalled with their computer, and do not seek out
other browser alternatives.

"Tip: Global averages may not be relevant to your web site. Different
sites attract different audiences. Some web sites attract professional
developers using professional hardware, while other sites attract
hobbyists using old computers.

"Anyway, our data, collected from W3Schools' log-files, over many years,
clearly shows the long term trends."
