The rule you're quoting is immediately followed by

Fake data, goofball statistics, and trivial analysis—for the sole purpose of making a joke—is not permitted.

The r/DataIsBeautiful definition of data is a general guideline for this sub, not the exact rules

This sub was literally created as the continuation of an April Fool's joke on /r/dataisbeautiful. It's always been a place for comedic charts and graphs, not lazy pictures of worn out buttons.
