It is a pity that so many projects use Github metrics in some form or other, and thus help promote the dominance of this platform and the FOMO barrier to use some other forge.
What would you use instead here?

There is not more to load. It's not even a button, just text looking like a button. Can't we still use semantic HTML anymore?
You don't get HTML. Neither do I. A couple years back there was a well-received "semantic HTML" submission here. I was in the small minority wondering how come ` ` is better semantics than ` `.
This page is a pretty convincing argument for why is the right element: https://www.buttoncheatsheet.com/

#13If this is your website, I recommend adding something above the fold of the home page explaining what Hugo is.
I have no idea what Hugo is and was frustrated by this too.

#14The official https://themes.gohugo.io/ appears to already sort using GitHub stars descending by default, isn't limited to just the first 10 themes, actually links to the repo, is a lot more informative at face value...and doesn't have a stupid Load More button that isn't actually a button.

#15I was expecting to see 'Coder' theme in Top-10 and I am not disappointed.

#16The academic-theme seems to have a duplicate entry at position 1 and 4 in the list. The academic-theme card at position 1 links to another theme: wowchery-hugo-theme, which has the correct/ corresponding github stars.

Mine was more a general observation. The GH stars metric is attractive to be used for ranking, because so many projects are on Github. But sites like this also work to keep it this way forever i.e. "I must be on GH for my theme to become popular".
Maybe Hugo Themes [0] or Netlify might offer a usage metric on their site. Here are two Hugo themes whose code is on Codeberg (a Gitea forge dedicated to FOSS projects) that still have a presence on Github, probably due to FOMO:
- https://codeberg.org/Lednerb/bilberry-hugo-theme
- https://codeberg.org/cinux/hugo-theme-techdoc
Didn't look on (self-hosted or primary) Gitlab, but can imagine there'd be a whole bunch of Hugo themes there too.

#19Would be great to have a Gitbook-like theme for Hugo.

#20I would recommend adding Doks to the list - https://getdoks.org/ Doks is an opensource documentation and blog theme. Looks amazing.
Hugo is fun and very extensible. I love that it is a single-file binary that I can download and use without bothering about dependencies.
When I moved away from Jekyll, I built a Hugo theme for my blog as my first for-profit hobby project - https://define.run/lucid-theme/
