You're either saying something that is tautologically true (more popular things have more "utility" because they're used more because they're more popular), or is clearly false by any metric that a majority of experts in CS or language design, or even industry professionals, would agree on.

How about "Sum ( usefulness for a purpose X number of instances its used for that purpose )"? Plenty of people would agree with that definition of utility. Something that isn't used at all (or much) has very low utility.
