Shares use each category’s published scope. OS totals overlap with versions; capability shares can overlap. VR shares cover headsets only.
Changes are percentage points (pp). Chart changes use consecutive months; gaps mean missing data. Archive sources appear with monthly values. Duplicate source labels have no individual trend.
