Or it could be something even simpler:  They're choosing really poor
Google searches to base their data on.  Since they don't elaborate, the
general public has no way of judging whether they've come to their
ratings (and more importantly their division between "A" and "B"
languages) in a reasonable manner.

For all we know they misspelled _Python_, or didn't realize that their
"C#" searches included C, C++, _and_ C#, etc.
