Perhaps you haven't seen them because of the difference in time zones. These servers use a special plugin that adds more fake players at day and removes them at night (I can't provide you the name of and the link to the plugin, for obvious reasons).
I took a screenshot of hosted tab at 16:00 GMT, and it looked like this: https://i.imgur.com/sRIRgGi.png
None of the highlighted servers have 500-1000 players on them, they have 50-150 at most.
