They CAN'T claim anything about global usage by just measuring the few users that hit their sites... what about all those machines which do NOT have internet access (say, in universities) ?

The advantage with Open Source software ( and OS) is that you can twist things YOUR way. And you can learn a lot from their code.
Please don't be too lazy to try alternatives. Who knows, perhaps you'll find something which you like better?
