Why does the guild finder always undersize guild rosters? (PS4 NA)

Two examples...
-One of my guilds has been at 499-500 members for the last 3-4 weeks. Once or twice a week someone drops and the spot immediately gets filled. Its consistently listed at around 450 members. Right now the guild has 499 members but the guild finder only shows 449.
I checked the roster- maybe the game was smart and not showing inactive members? Or those 50 spots were pending invites? No and no. No pending invites, around 20 people who've been offline for a month or more.
I also joined another guild today that's listed showed around 270 members. They actually have 370.
What gives?

XxCaLxX✭✭✭✭✭The listing shows "active members" so some ppl in those rosters haven't been actively online for X amount of days.0 -

✭✭✭I am not sure what the arbitrary cut-off is for "active" members versus members showing as inactive or offline, but it's that. My guild is full at 500, but we do have some spots that are now honorary permanent members for major guildies who either passed away or retired from the game, so they are in roster but many months or sometimes years inactive. Thus, in Guild Finder, when I do an inactive purge (but leave the honorary folks), we always show about 450 or so-ish rather than, say, 490.PS5 NA. GM of The PTK's - a free trading guild (CP 500+).

2 weeks, if I recall correctly. Many guilds have much longer allowances for activity before removing players.0 -

It is 2 weeks and ZOS needs to extend it out to a month. There are many guilds out there that strive to keep an "active" membership, which basically means if you haven't been on for 2 weeks or play offline, you get booted. A month is a reasonable time frame, 2 weeks not so much, as your normal vacation can be 2 weeks and who wants to go on vacation, or get sick, or whatever only to log back in and find you have been booted for inactivity?
Quite honestly, if a guild is showing more than 450 players in the guild finder, they most likely have a very strict inactivity policy.0
