Interesting analysis! Perhaps indeed it is intended to put forth a specific opinion - not sure to what end though!!

Good for you, keeping your shields up!

Suggesting that the web is more "controlled" than it is, prompting people to pursue alternatives? A worthy cause, but not one worth deception.

You're over analyzing a simplifying chart. The artist listed their sources so maybe their sources were limited too and they were too lazy to get in deeper.

If you really want to get picky why are there only two characters at the top? Why isn't there someone with a tablet and a phone?

Because the characters at the top are completely irrelevant; they're not the data being presented.

They're not irrelevant or they would have been images of avocados, flowers, chimney's or other random/decorative elements.

It's very illustrative of the "20 YEARS OF INTERNET GIANTS"

Needless to say this is an example, like yours, of perhaps being hyper-critical when a glance is all is necessary to get the idea.
