The stat refers to voters who are not affiliated with a party.

Not the far-right Independent Party.

It doesn't fucking matter in a way, we still have to all vote Biden to stop the apocalypse.

But if anyone wanders by your house or stops you and asks you to sign a petition for ranked choice voting and/or open primaries in your state, FFS say yes. It's the only way we're ever going to get to choose someone besides the one random asshat the D's and R's throw out there that are barely discernible from each other usually. (OK in the case of Trump vs Biden the gap is huge, I'll totally give you that though.)

And it could very much make a large difference in getting in more interesting candidates at the state government level.
