Yeah, you're right. The chart does have some interesting things to say about what transforms female characters into a different stereotypes, and I could see that being interesting in a different context, but turning that into a value judgment on them for fitting tropes is bad. Honestly, I think some of my favorite characters are the ones who fit squarely into tropes and proceed to completely subvert the expectations of them because people aren't that simple and their writers know that.
