Debian is highly problematic for gaming. It can do it, and depending on games you play and the hardware you could never see a single issue. But back ported updates and the general lag time makes even mint and Ubuntu have frequent problems or poor support for new releases.

So it's highly unsurprising that it doesn't show up in a survey focused in gamers.
