Remember, that the survey is not about which Source Code Control system is the best, only about which are actively being used. That can be a huge difference.

..and why a particular Source Code Control System is more actively being used??
Just because it is best, right?
BTW, that's my opinion

That's usually never the case. Be it, that the best systems are relatively new and haven't had the time to get their market share or the masses just using mass products, maybe being easy to get started with or just fitting into the company strategy. Developers or company deciders may also be reluctant to change the tools they know.
When not talking about Source Code Control systems, the price might also be an argument, why the best product would not be the most actively used product (a bit off topic).
BTW we can at best only ever express our opinion

No. Price often. Subversion is free, but it was not designed for source code and in my opinion it is not suitable for versioning of source code.
I have had to use it at three shops so far. The current one is trying to convert to TFS, but it appears not to be nearly as easy to set up.

No. It is decided by price.
Then there are cases where the guy who decides which one to use is just plain clueless. Like in one of the posts above where he mentioned they use Sharepoint.
