You're clearly on crack. Theres no data on applications, only on matching. It will be available after the Match.

Yea I was half asleep. I meant info on applications in this year's match, which can be found here: https://www.aamc.org/services/eras/stats/359278/stats.html

ERAS released application data, it's just not all that useful.

It's actually very useful for fellowship candidates in smaller field to predict how competitive the season will be and for program to figure out how many to interview.

For example, in IR fellowship, there are less US grads applying this year but they are each applying to more positions. This data allow programs to know that they may need to interview wider than usual if they want an US grad.

So if we noticed that there were fewer applications to our speciality from both US grads and I/FMGs, that should be a good thing, right? If it's a significant number, then that generally means it's less competitive this year, correct?

Sure...if that makes you feel better.

What if it's the other way around? Can that make me feel worse?

Sure. Go for it. Do you need to feel worse? Because I can give you a whole lot of other reasons to do so.
