I don't think the install number is accurate or maybe based on something else than actual, physical installs? Also if you install / deinstall does that count as install (it should imho) or maybe not? i'm not sure how easy it is to farm Play Store accounts; maybe someone knows? You need gmail which then turns into a Play store account right? Does install count per device and how far does Google go in limiting that?

These days is harder to create a google account since you need to make the sms verification process. That's now a requirement to be able to login to Google Play Store. The installs count since the moment you pressed install button. They don't decrease when people uninstall. However the uninstalls are visible in developer dashboard.
