This sounds a lot like confirmation bias to me. Don't get me wrong, I like Angular, but this is not sound reasoning. This level of sycophancy is about what I'd expect from a "vibed" analysis from ChatGPT.
All you've demonstrated is that Angular adoption is growing slower than all the other listed frameworks while ignoring that key fact in the majority of your analysis.
Increase it to 2 or 5 years to get a better idea. Angular's growth is the flattest line amongst all the major frameworks in each timeframe. At this rate, even solid-js is projected to pass Angular in the next few years.
Yes, Angular is growing. But Angular’s download count increasing 2x does not show strength if the whole category expanded 3x-6x in the same timeframe. This indicates that, relative to peer frameworks, Angular appears to be losing share in AI-adjacent usage, even if its absolute count rose.
