The entry requirements for those two lists are not the same, so you can't meaningfully compare the number of items on them.

Killed by Google will add pretty much anything to the list. It doesn't need to be a product. It doesn't really need to be by Google. And it doesn't even need to be killed.

I'm sure there are major methodological issues with what gets added to that list (I myself have seen some very questionable includes), but ultimately it's a trivial objection -- the overarching theme is very clear -- you cannot trust these products and services to exist for more than a year or two.

Also it's a sidebar, but astroturfing by company employees who stand to benefit from increased stock prices on comment boards such as this seems problematic.
