The graph represents only web DAUs (no app) and only in US and UK, here is the original source with more context, including graph for global DAUs https://www.similarweb.com/blog/insights/social-media-news/b...

> web data
One would expect that these networks are still part of web.

The meaning, clear by original context, of the author, head at instagram, would be "web data [as opposed to [total user web &] app usage data]". Which matches closer to what he's responsible for in parallel.
But, continuing technical distinctions outside of original context, in web jargon, web would be HTML served over HTTP (preferably even on www subdomains), and, by my single-utterance litmus test: "browser-viewable". These apps do make content available over/on the web, but having the distinction available seems worthwhile, web traffic versus app traffic. Many apps don't. Some of the content is meaningfully "not on the web" by the same common sense appeal.
