I don't think they do. 4.45% of hits from UA's set to desktop report Linux. There's no more processing done. That'd explain why some random countries end up reporting a huge number of Linux users or the seemingly random spikes and drops the data shows.
>Likewise we know they do some filtering of bot traffic,
Do we? Could it not be ignoring certain UA's that report as bots, like cURL or google crawler?
You seem to think they must be doing something to justify their data, but as we don't know what they're doing the results are trash.
I think they don't do anything to justify their trash data. I've seen no reason to give them any credit.
