Never used Astro but, wow, the comments here are meaner than the „crime“. AFAICT this wasn’t done with the intention of outright deceit.
all this while the stats themselves seem to be correct.
It‘s probably done to provide a more interesting graph. Something quite common in infographics. Playing devil’s advocate here, if you aren’t able to see that a number higher than 50% isn’t supposed to be left of center, you’re probably in the wrong business anyway.
Arguably it would have been more innocent if they indicated the shift by cracked bars [1], but then this is probably not provided by the charting library they use (or any that I know of).
