If you realize how most people act and think, you can tell them lies while telling the truth. Which is what people are usually trying to do when they start graphs away from zero.

Or it’s removing white space so you can actually see the difference in the data.
You can only properly understand the data by reading it, if you glance at it and make assumptions and conclusions, that only speaks volumes about yourself.

If counting from 1 to eleven is too hard for you, I don’t think observing that the scale is from 7 to 11 is within your grasp. So, why do this. Absolutely, there are reasons to not start a scale from zero, stocks are a great example, but I don’t think those reasons apply to this graph or the information they’re trying to convey.
