Because these types of lists are not real. What makes 3 better than 4? No one knows. It’s a fake ordering. Also, it’s Linux, so you can do any programming workflow on any distro. One is not inherently better than the other except for maybe community base. The points brought up for each distro are actually just buzzwords.
I think there is a misunderstanding, the numbers or how they are ordered is not the point. It is more to show that those distros are widely adopted and accepted, especially in the developer scene.
I agree with you that it is impossible to compare one distro with another and then rank it based on random things you make up for an article without explaining why you rate x above y.
However I think the list is solid, arch and Fedora are from my own opinion good ground for developers. I cannot say much about the other distros since I avoided them or did not test them.
