You are right that they are web browsing folk.  One point to note is 
that we recently (6 months ago) dropped 10.3 support across the board 
(without a single complaint that I'm aware of), so that will self-select 
to some extent, although they might not know that until they hit the 
sysreqs page.  Our licensing doesn't require server callback, so it's 
hard to separate out exact versions on installs, but if I actually go to 
the analytics directly on our download site, the 10.5 number hits 87%, 
though again that is web hits and not a direct correlation to the 
platform being downloaded (these are just the easiest to browse through).
