You forget intranets. Internal company webapps have to serve humongous
amounts of traffic on not really lavish hardware. Listing the Fortune 20
of websites which indeed CAN afford to "just throw more servers at it"
tells us precisely nothing at all about technology scalability.

Windows probably sees more use for company backends than you can imagine
on accounts of being easy to set up and work with up to a certain scale
when you really need automation instead of an underpaid student support
gimp.

Also, your method of research is laughable.

Oh yes. Only the three most mainstream server OSs appear in that list.
Surprise.

Or not, since the list is worthless data.

Good marketing, IIS comes with Windows, more straightforward than Java
to do MVC and deployment with. Makes it an easier first choice nowadays.

Worstofmyspace.com begs to differ. I completely ignore the very
existence of MySpace except from tidbits on the aforementioned site, but
if it's remotely to be trusted, it's far from stable and reliable.
