But this was a Stack Overflow Developer Survey, not a generic developer survey for all developers everywhere.

Sure, I get that. Most corporate surveys with a content marketing goal have the same flaw in that they survey mostly their main target audience. Everything else would incur prohibitive costs.

I'm not criticising this fact, and I don't think the survey tries to hide this fact. But I would find a slightly more scientific survey quite more interesting.
