Yes, laptops without a windows license are pretty popular in at least some poorer countries. Most buyers install windows anyway and activate it via massgrave and friends, which lets you save 40 to 100 USD, which is a pretty big deal.

GNU/Linux, ChromeOS (Google GNU/Linux), Android (Google Linux), MacOS, iOS (and iPadOS is a different thing, right?) Are almost certainly collectively more popular than Windows. Even as a primary / exclusive computer. I think a lot of people are able to not pay for Windows 11 in $CURRENT_YEAR, probably most.

Lenovo offers its laptops (at the least the customisable models) with your choice of No OS, Windows Home, or Windows Pro.
