I’m confused, this is actually a list of language repos that have the most stars, pull requests, and issues. Doesn’t seem like popular is the right word and especially for those metrics.

I agree with you. On GitHub, if someone is talking about the most popular language, I would assume that means that one that people are using the most. Not the one that's used in a project that received the most starts for a given time frame.
