I think there's two reasons for this. The query processing is fairly crude. For better or worse, it doesn't do much special processing. Which means you basically need a website that repeatedly says "list of CPU architectures" to rank well. Most of the pages that contain such a title are also actual lists. The index de-prioritizes documents that are mostly lists or tabular data, as they're rarely very often false positives as they often contain repeated words.

It doesn't seem like an issue of ranking since there are no results with lists of any sort, even at the bottom. Even if the word 'list of ...' only appears once, it wouldn't be filtered out, right? Out of 100 million pages, it seems like there could easily be a few hundred thousand with lists.
