That's true, but if your model of using the list is "someone is looking for advice on how to make money by going to college", it is a desirable feature. This person doesn't know what they want to do, and funneling them to a school with only good options will guard them against choosing a bad major later, when they've stopped looking at the list. Adjusting ROI to major availability would make the list less accurate.
