This is only showing native speakers so I feel like the title's a bit misleading
it's saying first-language speakers
It only says that below the main title, and from the wording it's also unclear if that's what it's actually intended to show or just the cutoff for a language being represented.
Like, it could be interpreted as showing L1+L2 speakers of languages with >50m L1 speakers
I think that one should always read the subtitles anyway
Ok. I admit I missed the label in the top right saying "Native Speakers (millions)"
