Lighthouse should be used more like a starter-kit. Especially for folks who are just getting started with SEO and optimisation in general. Not to mention most people only look at the score of home page. My personal website has 100 across all 4 categories for home page. But not for other pages. Like contrast ratio issue for html code element in markdown files.

Now, I have been learning more about the contrast ration issue which lead to more accessibility research. That is what lighthouse can do. Help us learn about the unknown unknowns. Scores are just a great to have byproduct IMO. :)
