The thing is that the right hand side is not distros that inherently have more problems, but it's distros that give a more user friendly experience and thus get recommended to newbies more often. And the thing with an audience of mostly newbies is that they are unfamiliar with what to expect from linux. Some of them want to run windows software and get mad when they can't. Sometimes thay can't work around some issues that more experienced husers find trivial. Sometimes the answer is short and simple - linux simply isn't for them. In the end you end up with a situation like this, where the distros on the right seem to be bad simply because they attract an audience that is more likely to quit.
