GitHub Has Restricted Access to Star Data (star-history.com)

> access to this data is being limited to a repository's own admins and collaborators.

Sounds fine to me? Why would a random third-party need to know which repos do I star, and who stars my repos?

This is concerning, now it's going to be even harder to tell if a repo is astroturfed by marketers or is really receiving organic adoption.

Why would GitHub want to restrict this?
