If by "this garbage" you mean this goofy blog post, then that's a good question. But note that goofy blog posts abound.
The article published in Royal Society Open Science doesn't even mention "popularity". That's just this goofy blog post's clickbaity take on it, and basically unrelated to the actual study.
It's obvious that "popularity" != cell phone call record frequency. (Note that age is a severe confounder -- the 50 year-olds in the study most likely did not even have cell phones at age 25...)
