> I take great issue with this statement and I think it’s fallacious. You cannot deduce that the current implementation of flakes are good or desirable based on the popularity of its feature flag.

You cannot even deduce popularity from the survey. The survey is almost certainly not representative which you can already guess from the overinflated amount of new users responding. I would expect that having flakes enabled and being a new(er) user are not statistically independent.
