If the average tech nerd uses linux and uses two computers every day and the average non tech nerd has only one device and uses his computer only once a week.

Could this distort such a usage report?

I tried to find out how DAP identifies users and I think it's based on device fingerprinting rather than IP address. So, I think, if you were to use two separate linux devices to access a .gov site using DAP it would register as two separate users. I don't believe frequency of use matters.

I understand why Android is not counted as GNU/Linux desktop, but why is ChromeOS not counted as such?

It's not GNU enough.

I'm already using Debian 13 on my work PC. It's a self-issued work PC, but still.

I am on linux mint on both my laptop and my desktop. I only need my phone to be degoogled and I will be all set.
