It might be, but then again what really needs to be surveyed are:

Who is offering SPARK, and how many corporate projects are using it, and which version.

Who is supplying Ada compiler support for projects which have "frozen" project 
language levels at Ada 83/87, Ada 95, Ada 2007, and Ada 2012.

I could see projects deciding that Ada 95 was too big a change--in spite of all the work we did to limit migration issues.  On the other hand Ada 2007, and 2012 may have been seen as too small a change to bother with.  Also having a validated compiler doesn't seem to matter as much as it did in the last century. ;-)
