Oh my bad, I misunderstood the concept of percentage.

Percentage is not as easy or helpful to work with, when there are orders of magnitude difference between absolute numbers. It hides the absolute number difference for no other reason than unspoken lying of statistics.

To put it in right context (relying on Wiki data for year 2021):

Current population of Greece: 10,482,487 (~10.5 Million)

Current population of India: 1,210,854,977 (~1.2 Billion)

Percentage, it’s percentage that is recorded, percentage.
