You don't deserve the downvotes, but it's worth noting that well known and often exploited vulnerabilities are still, well, exploited, while the planes that came back and were inspected for bullet holes were the ones that were not taken down.
But your point still stands: Even if you are more likely to be hit by one of the vulnerabilities in the list (big dragnet operations are more likely to have used them, and it's easier for other attackers to copy existing and known exploits), it would be absolutely bad to think the lesser known ones are less dangerous. You don't want to be in the first few batches of the lesser known bug's journey to become one of the well known ones...
Generally patch your stuff, basically. Even going by severity instead of popularity is not foolproof, other comments already pointed out how that severity has apparently been misassessed for bugs on this very list.
