That means the numbers are fake,

What? Them (phoronix) disclosing the source or valve releasing any numbers at all?

People please do your research and not trust sources that control the numbers.

How would that even work? Where would I get the numbers?

Valve blocked API access to their database. We can not confirm anything anymore: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/04/steam-spy-announces-its-shutting-down-blames-valves-new-privacy-settings/

The numbers are by Valve, there is no other way, Valve wants to control the numbers. We can not know if they are real or made up.
