What I meant by my reply is that PyPI is using "critical" as a label for packages that meet a specific criterion. I agree that "critical" as an English word can be rather vague, but it is not in this case.
PyPI's interest here is in the integrity of accounts that can publish PyPI's most widely downloaded packages. If you believe based on the chosen label that in the future, PyPI will come in and expand the criteria for criticality, then I guess that's possible? But it's not what's happening now.
