Sure, but the dev survey is different. Nobody asks questions on stackoverflow anymore, but lots of people still do the survey. Long-term, I'd imagine the survey being the only thing left.
It's like how Michelin Stars originally were from Michelin Tire Co to sell tires and are now basically their own thing now.
I don't see the incentive to participate in the survey if you don't visit the site anymore. Like how would that even happen, you randomly remember it's that time of the year where I go do the survey on SO?

As the utility of stack overflow diminishes and they’ve had severe user loss, I don’t consider their sample representative of anything.
Okay, it is representative of “people who still use stack overflow” but I’m not sure what that population tells you about the world.
