Should arch users not count for some reason or am I missing something?

There is a stereotype about Arch users using every opportunity they can to mention they use arch. He is implying they would be more likely to accept the hardware survey for this reason

The funny part is more people who don't use arch bring up arch at this point. Nix OS has become the distro that users always tell everyone they use it.

Arch has become rather normie.

I assume the person you replied to was insinuating Arch users are probably more likely to do the survey because they are vocal about sharing their choice of OS
