I love gnomes, but even I don't believe that.

I can buy them being less popular nowadays. I don't think I buy them being invisible on that chart.Drow in my experience are a thing almost exclusively used by older players. Tieflings cover almost all the thematics that don't directly involve running away from Menzobarranzan or other deep D&D lore - and a lot of people find the "Dark Elves" to be embarrassing (and Menzobarranzan to be embarrassing in a different way). A lack of drow presence doesn't surprise me at all.

Rock Gnomes are in the free Basic D&D rules, while Forest Gnomes are not. No idea which book unlocks Deep Gnomes.Also keep in mind that not all racial options are available by default on D&D Beyond. For whatever reason Deep Gnomes and Rock Gnomes are presented as racial options, but not Forest Gnomes.
Where to begin? The two big ones are:I see you use the phrase "embarrass" at least twice.
In what way, exactly, do you find the Drow embarrassing?
