> As an outsider, I thought v3.0 was released last year[0]. Can someone explain?
Scala 3 (commonly known as Dotty before Scala3 official release) has been available for a while so that users could try it, submit suggestions, etc. This was done mainly by library authors that started cross-compiling libraries to Scala 3.
> Also, would a 6% increase over 3 years for v3.x, vs a 56% increase for v2.13, indicate v3 is not favored?
Similarly, Scala3 is being adopted first by library authors, and, it is the suggested choice for new projects, the migration to Scala 3 is very simple if the libraries you depend on are published to Scala 3, still, existing projects are migrating slowly.
I have migrated some apps to Scala3, and, I rolled back one of those to Scala 2.13. Also, I work with multiple customers that use Scala, the main reason they haven't moved to Scala3 is because IntelliJ still requires more improvements while working on Scala3.

Thanks. Also interesting to compare to JetBrains survey from last year
