You could almost be forgiven for not realising that every point on that Y axis is a mere half percent...

All the usual caveats apply. Linux still comes behind "unknown" in Statcounter, whose methodology is... dubious, and the Steam survey has Linux at 2%, flat from the previous checkpoint.

It makes sense that Steam is lower, since gaming historically has been one of the biggest things keeping people from switching. That's no longer the case, but it'll take time to convert people.

Also, putting half percent points from 0 to 5 on the y axis, while the x axis is four month intervals since 2009, makes this growth look way more significant that it really is...

The shape of the curve, ie the trend, imo, is far more important than the current marketshare.
