No, it's according to the facts.

Dry air is 80% N2 and 20% O2 (I rounded the figures).

Both have a molecular weight higher than water vapour (28 and 32 versus 18).

All gasses have the same number of molecules per unit volume - and this includes mixtures of gasses.

So the density of a mixture of N2 and O2 and H2O is less than a mixture of just N2 and O2.
