Thank you.
So what is being measured is just the browsers people are using? Then I can see why the metrics are more general than precise measurements, as the user agent can be easily changed.
The question is, if they only evaluate the User Agent? This is an organization specialized into statistics, they know it can be modified too. The ad industry tries to track you and find out everything about you despite these modifications. Don’t underestimate them!

Fair enough. They still don’t know what >7% of people are using, though.
That 7% might not even be people. It could be bots doing HTTP requests and throwing garbage in the user-agent.
