The numbers comparison is a little skewed, I think because more tags get added as an anime goes on. Some of the shows that are included in those previous lists are a little dubious to me - from just the stuff I know, Delusional Monthly Magazine shouldn't be there at all, and stuff like Tonari no Yokai-san, Windbreaker, and Mashle make the cut because they have a bi, trans, and non-binary supporting character respectively (Windbreaker's having almost no screen time at all). I'd guess by the end of the season a few of the current shows will get that type of "there's queer people in there somewhere" tag. We're definitely short on anime about queerness, though.

Yeah, I just went back and took an actual look at some of the shows listed in those seasons (I was just counting before) and the tag is pretty liberally applied. Some of the series really surprised me including Dungeon People, Shikanoko, and 'Tis Time for Torture Princess. I can't really remember any LGBT themes from any of those shows.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
