Comment (by Otto42):

 You use the word "penalize" here, but really, what this does is to give
 more a boost to those with more active installs, with a maximum of 1
 million installs being relevant.

 In other words, this seems to me to make active install numbers actually
 count. Above a million, more installs no longer benefit you.

 Whether you are adjusting the scores up or down is kind of irrelevant.
 Counting more installs as higher is the goal, with the 1 million maximum
 being relevant.
