The numbers are comparing apples and oranges:

...wouldn't that make it far easier for some malicious to steal the signature of thousands of people? Perhaps in the 2022 midterms or 2024 general election?

It's total rejection rate to total rejection, so that's apples-to-apples, right?

It is interesting that the GA SoS claims rejections in 2016 due to signatures was really low.

If that's true and 2020 is comparable, then we would not expect to see a significant number bogus signatures in an audit, which would provide reassurance to all observers.

Hence, in that case, I don't understand the reluctance to perform an audit.
