Well, this ranks them by search engine popularity. That metric certainly has its problems, but I have to assume it does correlate with people coding in those languages more than it correlates with people using things coded in that language.

I don't think so.

When I have a React or Vue or Angular problem, I don't search for "JavaScript".

Only when I need docs on JavaScript's native features, for instance Array.sort(), I include "JavaScript". And even then I may use "JS" instead, but I assume Google knows that's a synonym for "JavaScript".

While each of those searches would be part of, say, a React project, I would definitely consider that part of the JavaScript space.

To be fair, all of the above would also go for Python vs Django, etc.
