I wonder how many still won't switch.

Majority. Never underestimate the power of pre-installed software and default settings. There is a reason why Google is still paying Firefox big bucks to be the default search engine.

its also the reason why in the U.S, the default messaging app is the most used. people are lazy unless forced to be given the option at the start.
