I have been cycling on and off for over 70 years. In that time I've had numerous bikes but few different Brands.
Started with a Hercules aged around 9.
Then a succession of Raleigh models.
One Giant MTB.
One Cannondale MTB.
One Haibike electric bike.

I now have one Raleigh MTB fitted with a Tongshen motor and the Giant MTB much modified for touring.

I've had more Raleigh bikes than the rest put together. I'm sure this tally is very small compared to some.

What do your lists look like?
