Anyone reading this who now goes to find out what these #OpenBSD manual pages are, immediately proves the point that counting the number of manual pages with wc(1) isn't a valid criticism. They've demonstrated by their own actions that it's a metric void of meaningful information.

Again, though, that shows exactly why counting manual files with wc(1) is silly. It tells one nothing whatsoever about the amount of documentation one should read for any particular task. About all that it tells one is that documentation to be read exists, which is in fact a good thing.
No-one is daft enough to assert that because Debian has more than 81,000 man pages; the amount of documentation one has to read to use Debian is not commensurate to the task.

In any case, you're definitely not looking at things from a sysadmin's point of view.
A sysadmin's view would in stark contrast be whether, say, systemd.unit(1) documents the search path that the software has actually used for 10 years. Because whether the doco is correct and informative is important, not how many files it is in.
If how many files it was in were important, we'd have long since junked the man system in favour of PDF files. (-:
