Edit: I had more of a think about this and I realised why the author thinks the way they do - their visibility is online 'hip' tech spaces. Those spaces are driven by what is available for free (or close to it) for startups, students, the things with a low stickiness and rapid ability to switch. The bulk of the tech world doesn't work like that, you have a project managed with svn and it has been like that for over a decade, the argument needed to get it onto another system would need to be rock solid and would sit in committees for months. But those won't be counted as stats because they're running locally (real locally, not a self managed cloud server).
Beware the popular tech echo chamber. Most devs talk more about the languages/techniques/paradigms/systems etc they wish they were using rather than what they're actually using.
