low entries number for some blocklists

Hello

I notices that some blocklists have a low number of entries, for example :

AdGuard Mobile Ads filter -> 909 entries

Fanboy's Annoyance List -> 868 entries

They should be huge. Why is that ?

Thanks

    These content blocker lists were originally designed for browser-based blockers like uBlock Origin, not for DNS-level filtering. Only a small subset of rules from such lists are actually compatible with DNS filtering, since DNS can only block entire domains, not specific URLs or page elements. As a result, most rules in these lists are either unusable or irrelevant for DNS-based blockers.
