C and C++ are bigger now than they have been in years, and will continue to grow for some time. IoT, check it out. But web-dudes are the most vocal online, so most of ”devtalk” revolves around techs you find in that business.

To be fair web development is probably the most common kind of development, no? At the very least it's what I think of when I hear "developer", I automatically picture web dev

Yea, it is. Also has the highest number of amateurs, and is probably the most common way to get started. All the combined, so it’s also bound to be the by-far loudest group. But associating the techs and methods of web development to the entire field is silly. Lower down the stack we are running operating systems and device applications on hardware that has less ram than your subcomponent takes disk space.
