Apple did by releasing ARM based CPUs for desktop. This means they also change to MAC OS. Hence no longer 98% market share.

Now the future is ARM, desktop, laptop and mobile. Windows have hard time bringing over all their legacy software over to ARM. Their legacy compability is their biggest strength that they now have to get rid of or rebuild.
