The problem with this scale is that you put Macs all the way toward the origin, behind Ubuntu, yet Macs are experiencing an upswing un popularity that certainly bests Linux in any shape or form. Macs don't really do convenience, considering they're more expensive to buy and just as easy to use as most Windows systems. Macs actually have very high fidelity, just of a weird kind: the fidelity of style. Macs are so "cool" to use, carry such a status with them, and have so much style, that people actually pay more for them. Perhaps it's a demographic issue, but there are just as many Macs as Windows computers in my college dorm. I think on your scale that Macs need to be scaled way up the Y axis because of their own peculiar fidelity. Ubuntu could try for the same thing: don't get something that actually MAKES it better, because in many ways its features are probably maxed out. Instead, make it SEEM better to the market via marketing. Maybe Ubuntu doesn't need more programmers, just a PR division.
