TIOBE ranks Delphi/Object Pascal above Go and Rust. I don't quite get this odd behavior of so quickly labeling a language as "dead" and devoid of any evidence

TIOBE ranks Delphi/Object Pascal above Go and Rust.
I don't quite get this odd behavior of so quickly labeling a language as "dead" and devoid of any evidence to back up the claim. In the case of Pascal and Ada, various commercial interests want them to be "dead", because both represent a threat to their financial interests.
Pascal became Object Pascal, which is very much around in the form of Delphi/Embarcadero, Free Pascal/Lazarus, Oxygene/Rem Objects, PascalABC, etc...
Ada for sure is not going anywhere for many years to come because of its use in the military and aerospace industries.
