Idk I just get the vibe that it's a "programmers OS" I'm sure that I'm wrong, especially after looking more into it but that outsider opinion isn't unwarranted IMO especially after looking at something like Arch

There are a lot more programmers running Windows than Linux though. :)

There's like... 1/10 the amount of people on Linux as a whole

It kind of depends where you look.

Home desktop users, sure. Servers... Unless you have a really good reason, running a Windows server is a weird idea nowadays.
