Not even close. Same goes for .NET. These are clearly very successful products but are very far from "dominating the market".

Different uses of the word. 30% market share is dominating in my book, and I believe both of those do that in their markets.

Windows is on a whole different level, you cannot compare anything to it because nothing comes close. 90% market share is practically impossible.
