On that metric, for postings where the apply link goes to an external page, any user that clicks apply (and is redirected) is counted, even if they don't actually follow through. For LinkedIn easy-apply, the metric is more accurate to actual submitted applications, but there seems to be a lot of users (scripts?) indiscriminately easy-applying to every possible job because it's, well, easy.
