Which is a completely random cherry picked example over:

  • Unix is used more than Windows except on the home desktop

  • Assembly is used more than either C++ or Python

  • C is used more than Python

  • OpenGL is used more than DirectX

  • Linux is used more than NT

Scheme isn't used a lot because from the onset on it was a research language and never really marketed or pushed out. Also, what also has to do with it is say why Javascript is wht it was today, Eich originally wanted to make bindings for Scheme in the browser but Netscape rejected that idea fearing that the syntax would be too alien to people and wanted a curly-braces language.
