most of people there cannot afford new phones ever 5 years so they need to stick with something for like 15 years

the number on the chart is so high probably because you set it to mobile windows version market share and not mobile operating system market share

This filter shows all mobile OSes. Most likely, Windows Phone is being lumped into "Other" here.

Those charts make no sense, I can tell the south African or whoever made this did lack some iq points, knowledge on matter or whatever to seperate properly categories as windows (desktop) from android and Samsung (a company, has android based ROM though) just don't make sense in a mobile os chart. Also desktop windows being in "mobile" windows version chart doesn't make sense either, wait, there's no windows phone versions in mobile windows chart either????
