Consider that to go on a site specifically for programming questions and then take a survey about it, you have to be the kind of person that cares about getting their code "right". The majority of programmers I've met would only go there to copy-paste a quick answer, and those people have all moved to asking chat-gpt for code now.

The memes that I remember being all over Reddit about "where did you get that code ... I stole it [from stack overflow]" honestly terrified, and continue to, terrify me.

Yep, the ones who are doing some kind of input on stack overflow (even just a survey) are way beyond the “let’s keep everything the same because to get rid of tech debt sounds like a bunch of work” camp.
