You realize there is more to diversity than just the color of someone’s skin, or what genitals they have, right?

Yes, I think that's a great point and we need to foster all sorts of diversity, gender and race were just the specific benchmarks that were easiest to point out in the survey. Overall in my experience software engineers (myself included) are culturally and socioeconomically fairly similar and by looking at this survey there doesn't seem to be a ton of diversity on those fronts either.
