But people from those countries must also be using Google and Microsoft
There might be some double counting, but it doesn't matter - this just illustrates the insane scale of these companies.
Comparing huge multinational countries which serve every country to the half of countries with the smallest energy usage is not terribly illustrative.
I think you meant comparing companies, guessing autocorrect got you.
And I disagree, it's useful, but more useful would be a chart of countries and multi-nationals, with the company usage removed from the country usage, to see it more clearly.
