Surveys are never really giving full overview of the community as they represent views of the developers who are taking this survey. The more reliable ways to see popularity is to check npm.js stats (for usage) and github pulse (for community involvement).
If we compare react and cordova on npm we clearly can see that Cordova is very very strong in terms of usage. https://npmcharts.com/compare/cordova,react-native?interval=30 Those are cli packages that represent new users that will most likely install them globally or using CI/CD. Adding cordova-ios/cordova-android can give even nicer picture. Npm stats can be also used to check usage of the different cordova plugins.
