It's a guess by me, but honestly I think it's quite accurate - then again I just checked some statistics and those absolutely does not confirm my guess - however most unfortunately mix PCs and laptops (which are not the same in terms of how you learn with them, imo) and oftentimes even tablets (which are completely useless to learn anything about computers). The actual numbers as per the first statistic I found say that households with PCs are down from ca. 65% in the early 2000s to ca 43% in the 2022.

Thinking about it, that might actually be true, but I don't think that anywhere close to 40% of children get exposure to computers & spend way too much time on mobile devices.

Glad I’m putting together a Linux box for my oldest to wreck/play with!

And that is absolutely the best you can offer them to find out if they have an interest in / a talent for anything IT. And playing games is a good motivator to try and start figuring out problems.
