I agree there's a decent correlation. There are a few notable exceptions/edge cases. For example, Ruby's rake has just ~1,300 stars:

It'd be an interesting project to compare frameworks/tools by aggregating the stars (or whatever metric) of its major (i.e. filtering out hobby forks and skeleton repos) dependent projects, e.g. the 22K stars of gatsbyjs/gatsby would count towards React's overall reach/popularity.
