That's true on the first impression. But as soon, as you took such an
extension and disregard it later, you won't download the next version,
because you're happy with another one. So on the long term, download rates
will give a good idea and will perhaps be misleading only for new
extensions. But then in both directions, because even a very good but new
extension will have only a few download.

You'll have to weight this numbers, perhaps even disregard them, but it's
always better, to have something for weighting.
