I can't take https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ seriously: Visual Basic on place 7 of most popular programming languages right after JavaScript? More popular than Go, Rust, PHP and SQL? Haskell is more popular than TypeScript (scroll down to see other places)? TIOBE isn't a good metric, as they only check a few websites and a few engineers:
If they count VBa as Visual Basic is not surprise.
You'll be amazed on the amount of development that's being made over MOffice in not technology companies.
I read further and there is some clarification if you scroll down to "Very Long Term History". Visual Basic and (Visual) Basic are two entries, where Visual Basic refers to "Visual Basic .NET" since 2014.
