If the Netherlands were known for being "a country of musicians," because almost every Dutch person played the piano, would that be a fair stereotype of the country?
If, on average, they only played the piano once a week, just to play a single scale, would it be fair to have an article whose title was "The Dutch barely play at all"?
All three things would be true:
1. The Dutch were famous because most of them played the piano
2. The average Dutch person plays significantly more scales than the average American (who probably play <0.005 scales)
3. The Dutch "barely play at all."
Honestly, I don't see why this title is bothering you so much. Most people's image is of the Dutch biking everywhere.
