"I was not aware that Courts are required to make decisions based on the number of people that happen to sign a certain petition."

They aren't. But the court should really think twice before calling a lawsuit with such broad appeal "frivolous" and applying sanctions for bringing it.

Frivolous is the term applied to the technical merits of the case. That is, it has not been developed in a manner the legal system can meaningfully address.

And the petition is hardly earth-shattering. Even if it has 500,0000 signatures on it, what is that? 0.2% of the country?
