>Today, the JVM runs on an estimated 89% of computers, 3 billion mobile phones, and 125 million TV devices.
I'm not even sure the above is technically correct. But even if it is:
1) it runs on most of those "89% of computers" as Java Applets, a technology noone cares about, not as a readily deployed Java runtime for the desktop.
2) Those 3 billion mobile phones either are Android, in which case they don't exactly run Java, or are insignificant featurephones with mobile Java that again nobody cares about.
3) Nobody cares about those "125 million TV devices" as platforms either.
