Few denials in AO, most referred to immigration - what does it mean for applicants in status

I can't help but notice that there are very few denials each month at the asylum office. I wonder what that implies.

This is an example from NYAO but they all seem similar. In one month;
637 cases completed, 9 denials, 121 approvals, rest referred to immigration court.

Clearly most cases are just referred. But since applicants in status cannot be referred, I wonder which of the following it implies;

1) Since in status cases are 'low priority' they aren't among the completed cases in the first place - that is why we wait longer to get decisions?
2) In status cases cases are not denied often
3) There are very few in status cases to begin with
