Assumption. You have no evidence of your claim as always.

You're speaking of servers and then somehow associate them to desktop
computers. Do you not see how you're purposely lying here?

You mention Google as a Linux-using enterprise except that Google
employees are routinely told to bring whatever machine they want to work
and it turns out to be a Mac in most cases. You also mention Linux
running mail servers but people are increasingly looking for
comprehensive, responsive and fully-featured servers which will take
full advantage of Outlook's capabilities. Those aren't Linux servers.

So you are saying that a business consists only of servers?  Sorry, but staff is also required.

Boy is 7 nuts!

Desktop computing means doing personal/professional work with a 
computer.  Servers  and so on (which Linux has a huge chunk) usually 
sit unaided and untouched by human intervention for weeks and months 
and more on end.  They are certainly capable of desktop use - they just 
aren't used for such.

The truth is, Linux is used for desktop operations by fewer than 1 out 
of 50 people.
