Think about this - if a bunch of people hate a language and stop using it, the following year that language's "most loved" score will increase. I wouldn't call that merit, it's just a bad metric.

Yes, if people can simply stop using a language, it will not be hated. That's how it works on real life too.

But most of the time, people can't stop using languages.
