Honestly, Ruby being "niche" helps prevent its enshittification... JS and Python are being turned into Java.

Ruby is still a great language for individuals who want to do things as opposed to simply create slop so they can get a chill job.

Forget TIOBE, maybe look at how much actual software or how many startups use Ruby. I bet it outperforms relative to the total amount of people who use it.
