Redmond Programming Language rankings for Q3 2020

Something seems to be missing...

Don't those measure how many questions were asked about those languages on those platforms? Fox is so easy there are fewer questions, and we ask them on other platforms. That's my spin and I'm sticking to it.

The Y-axis is based on questions. The X-axis is based on GitHub project using the language.

There's lots of things missing. You get the answer to the questions you ask.
GitHub seems to flag FoxPro projects as "xBase" -- at least that's what VFX/Thor is. There are also "topics" for VFP, so there's another variation.
StackOverflow, otoh, has separate xBase and FoxPro and "Visual FoxPro" tags.
So, if you are looking at the intersection of two metrics, you'd better make sure they're the same thing.

OK, let’s assume that you could wave your wand, and aggregate all of those so that they are all recorded as “FoxPro”.
Do you think it would show up even then?

I wonder. There's a *lot* of things on there that I've never heard of!

Unlikely. But it would be more than the current Zero. It might give "Starlark" or "Modelica" a run for their money.
I've got a half-dozen legacy projects. Thor and VFX have dozens. The world outside the US uses a lot more Fox that inside, and GitHub is free/cheap and an easy distribution mechanism. Or maybe they're on BitBucket or Vault or Subversion :)

Rebol and Dabo also seem conspicuous by there absence.

Dabo isn’t a language; it’s 100% Python.
