I think that I explained it. Here a shorter list:

these statistics are only about Steam games, not 90% of Windows games
90% of games does not equal to 90% players / users

Most players don't care how many games from the Steam catalog are playable, if their favorite game is not. That's the point. And the article did a bad job of making it clear.
