That's because you only take into account controversial GR. Not all GR need to be controversial. Sometimes I'm tempted to use GRs to try have some official position statements from Debian on some topics. And at least, they give us some real figures of Debian instead of unverifiable statements quoting the 'the silent majority' (which probably exists in most cases, but whose opinion is difficult to know).
