Because nearly no one would respond that way on a survey no matter who they are, their result size for that was probably one, at most. So one linux user who is so autistic that he has no reservations about saying he is a pedo on a five minute survey has painted the entire linux community.
I wonder if that is an example of publish bias. If they didn't get that hypothetical one outlier would we even be seeing these results?
