None of this addresses:

- The misleading title change

- The missing methodology document

- The missing context of absolute scores alongside deltas

All things that have changed since last year's survey.

We changed the title to better reflect that the survey asks plenty of questions not directly related to jamstack (like usage of AI tools for web development etc).

Nothing changed in the methodology since last year and as always the survey was run by our data team.

If you scroll past the editorial part of what our team found newsworthy in the data and down to the actual survey data, you'll see clear charts of absolute framework usage and detailed breakdowns on satisfaction for each framework.

Nothing changed since last year's methodology document? How is that possible when that document is full of statistics specific to that year's survey? It's still up for anybody to view: https://jamstack.org/survey/2022/community-survey-2022-metho...
But the percentage changes are correct, aren't they? I don't think readers will think that the graphs represents absolute popularity, also (IMO) any survey taken by a company will be used for marketing purposes and should be consumed as such. (It's just some text on the internet, nobody is going to take it as gospel.)
