Those statistics don't factor in the number of clueless users who have never run a check disk and have never defragged the main drive. I'm speculating about Vista / Win7 / Win8 UAC since I've never seen it myself, but I've had a lot of experience with new gamers ("NEW" meaning those who came along after the Days of DOS and Dinosaurs when computers didn't routinely come with the OS pre-installed) complaining about problems, one checkdisk one defrag and all problems disappear.

People who use computers for internet activity and reading email should defrag once a year, people who play games should do it once a month. People who mod games should do it once a week, because that involves a lot more new files, changed files, backup and restore files, delete old backups after uploading, etc. Check disk should be run at least once a year, just to make sure whatever bad sectors might have developed are marked that way. SSD drives of course are a different thing, but most still have standard whirling hard drives which have gotten larger and faster over the last 30 years but still have the same basic design.
