So basically the algorithm is designed to not find projects that are critical because they are deep in the foundations, depended on by nearly everyone but only worked on by a few people? (which is what "critical" would suggest at least to me) This seems to be mostly a "github marketing index"...

I seriously hope no actual decisions about resource allocation etc are made based on this.

We are working on this problem, it is not simple. Identifying dependency trees reliably across languages is not straightforward [only nice for package manager ones]. Follow https://github.com/ossf/criticality_score/issues/8
