Is chess variants dead?

At the top are current games and players count, (outdated but the average by the way) why are they so low and there are only 1.5K players, even though Chess.com has 20M active players? Is that counter local to my country or is it global?

There's a strong group of chess variant players that play the most logical variant created in my opinion, but chess dot com does nothing to promote this great game and the code here for this variant online here is poorly written. The discord channel of this variant has the best players and they're friendly and approachable.

I think chess variants are not emphasised enough when a player chooses to play a game.
