Only Airbus and the 777 have FBW AFAIK which make FBW airplanes a minority in civil aviation.

Boeing and Airbus have about an equivalent number of aircraft in service, and both the 777 and 787 utilize FBW, as well as Embraer. So, the majority of commercial aircraft in service are FBW.

You are right. Totally forgot about the 787 and though that Emb only start deploying FBW on their E2 series.
