It's not like 6300 is anything but statistical noise compared to the number of Linux users out there.

The number of Arch Linux users is nothing but statistical noise compared to the number of Windows users; would you say that nobody uses Arch?
In that context, if, that is, the comparison involved Windows user share, then yes.

Hell, even in a Linux-only context too. I mean, an exchange like:

- We're shipping this enterprise software in packages compatible with RHEL and Ubuntu, would it be worth our while to also devote resources to specifically support Arch too?

- Nah, nobody uses Arch

While not accurate to the maximum possible precision (something like say 5% of Linux users is not the same as 0%), it would still be quite understandable...
