Since when is marketing *ever* not misleading?
I don't think that's quite a fair statement. Good marketing informs a customer about a product that may be just the thing for his needs. With any product, there are different ways to view it, positive and negative, and they aren't wrong or misleading, just different.
As for popularity of a programming language, no two people will even agree on a definition of it, let alone an accurate means of measuring it. Tiobe explains their methodology, and readers are free to interpret it as they see fit.
I don't see that as misleading.
