Newest steam survey shows windows installs down to about 97% of gaming rigs, down a percent from last year. The Steam Deck is doing the work to get devs onto more open platforms for release. More and more nails are added to the windows coffin every day, I suspect 2-3 console generations from now windows will still be dominant in the gaming ecosystem, but only barely.
Given how many people will either have no security updates or buy extremely expensive highly tariffed new computers, the Windows user share will naturally go down over time. Windows 11 is a box of coffin nails that are slowly getting hammered in.
