We lost 54k GitHub stars
Or even make it so that those starrings that no longer have permissions to view the starred item just effectively don't exist because of data rules.

That's bad because it lies to users and you can't remove the star when it's in that state.

But if your star doesn't effectively exist why does that matter?

Because if the star is merely hidden then the repo can come back later. If you don't want any association with that repo any more, it's bad that it can put itself back into your starred list.
