Easy enough to figure out. Count dependencies in given selection of software, compare to older software in the same area.
I'm certain someone did such surveys.
Software isn't entirely driven by need, sometimes politics or licensing preclude the use of libraries. Sometimes libraries are not specific for your area and cannot be used - typical when handling hard real time applications or when otherwise microseconds matter.

Sure, it's easy enough. But until you can actually point to the surveys, we can't say anything about the code on Github relating to the point being made.
