Incorrect npmjs.org package count?

I'm curious where the "4,392,282 packages" number on https://packages.ecosyste.ms/registries/npmjs.org/packages is coming from. According to the live, constantly updating counter of packages on the homepage of npmjs.org (when logged in) itself, the number is at 3,176,303...

@uncenter that number includes packages that have been removed/deleted which I guess npm doesn't include in it's count

Thanks for answering so quick! I think it makes sense to include removed/deleted packages though 🤔 was that an intentional choice for ecosyte-ms?
