If one OS goes up, another/others have to go down.
However, this story must be nonsense almost by definition. OS usage changes are happening at a glacial pace therefore this observation cannot reflect true change but rather reflects sampling fluctuation/biased sampling.
Even though submissions are scarce these stories are simple noise themselves, please do not post them.
