I can't talk about "most" here, only local conditions, i.e. northern Europe 
where both the legacy ISO encodings are very common with a steady increase in 
UTF-8 usage, in the Linux community. People using OSS in windows almost 
exclusively get the windows-1252 (for most practical purposes the same as 
ISO-8859-1).

Even a *very* small set of random people you will wind up with people having 
different locales.
