Conflating JavaScript and TypeScript feels like a stretch.

On the surface, that appears to take virtually every company doing a front end web app and merge it with everyone doing JS or TS on the backend, when the rest of the languages are just backend.

The author doesn't seem to clearly list a methodology so I'm guessing a bit but...

I put a lot more stock in Stack Overflow's survey results, although I also wish they distinguished frontend JS vs backend JS usage in comparison to the rest of the languages which are only backend.
