Not a good correlation between number of launches and number of satellites, like their used to be. Nowadays, one launch with 50-100 smallsats is old hat, and most of those satellites are not very important on any level. So you can launch 200 cubesats that do almost nothing on several launches and it looks good. Old days, there were few launches with more than 1 satellite (and only a couple more for multiples) and each satellite was almost always quite important and useful.
