All the map concerns is the initial spread of these particular religions, it doesn't say anything about how many people they affect or whether there are other religions alongside. Jainism was just as big as Hinduism up til Medieval times if I'm not mistaken, but the map actually doesn't show Jainism at all. Saying the map should 'retreat' as it were, seems to be misunderstanding what the map is actually representing.
