Based on their comment I guess they are worried they won't earn enough stars on github
At a talk to showcase how dumb stars/downloads are to measure popularity I showcased a tool to reach the most downloaded list very easily.
The owners of code repositories that release download counts stats without even aggregating them by IP address are fully aware of it.
Probably some people play the stats to seem popular and get VC funding.
