I believe this data is largely irrelevant. I'm pretty sure this 5% is, more specifically, users whose video cards support DX8 at most - i.e., people who don't support DX9 at all. However, many people whose video cards do support DX9 - like me - still run games under DX8 simply because it's much faster.
