That depends on how many legitimate gmail.com certificates are out
there.  Organizations struggle to keep track of their own
certificates.  It's difficult to see how relative outsiders (and most
“security researchers” are) can cope with that, except by raising an
alarm about everything they see (which is not generally helpful).

There's also an ongoing effort to defang CT and make the data much
less useful, so CT could turn meaningless fairly soon.
