Exactly, GitHub claims to have 400M+ repos making this number 0.025% of repos. I'm sure they could get it lower but less than half of 1% is pretty damn good.
As a developer I have to do some due diligence about where I'm getting my data from. If I'm slurping in random repos because the name matches that's a people problem, not a github specific problem.
