No it hasn't. Your definition of "a lot" is probably a hell of a lot different than Mr. Robertson's. A few dozen or hundred isn't "a lot".

Computers w/FOSS are still a negligably small share compared to those w/proprietary software.

Smallish, but far from negligibly small.

Perhaps you're thinking of the desktop. Desktop computers are a (truly) negligible minority of the computers in use. They just happen to be the ones that scream "Fear me, I'm a computer!" Most other products don't benefit from seeming impenetrably opaque. The fraction running (e.g.) web servers is not small at all.
