It seems to be based purely on "all the emails from [the author's] inbox, they are primarily the messages from tech lists" (source).
So the conclusion is based on one user's inbox, receiving messages from a particular group of people. Gmail may be (and almost certainly is) the most popular email provider, but the quoted data can not be used as the evidence.
can I treat it as a sampling statistics?
from their result we can see besides the personal domains and company domains, these are the primary free email providers around the world.
  1. gmail
  2. 163
  3. hotmail
  4. QQ
  5. outlook
  6. yahoo
  7. GMX
  8. 126
  9. web.de
  10. Yandex
  11. protonmail
  12. free.fr
  13. t-online
  14. iCloud
