If all those downloads were from 2005 to 2015, and there’s only been a few hundred in the last nine years, that would mean the popularity has declined.
But we don’t know that. We don’t know if the downloads have increased, decreased, or stayed the same based on the proffered numbers. We only know a flat number from the last twenty years.
Thats the point theyre making, not that its unequivocally unpopular now.
Also you’re about three billion shy of one download for everyone on earth.
The original article (https://www.lowpass.cc/p/vlc-five-billion-downloads-vision-pro-app) states
The app surpassed three billion downloads in early 2019
so there has been at least 2 billion downloads in the last 5 years. Also,
The latest version of VLC, which was released in November, has already been downloaded more than 335 million times by desktop users alone.
(to the entire public) STOP HAVING FUCKING BABIES
When I was in my prime it was 6 billion, and we liked it. Now get off my lawn!
