I agree.

One possibility is to use the minibuffer history to sort by the number
of occurrences of each history element, but this method doesn't work
when history-delete-duplicates is customized to non-nil, so there are
no duplicates in the history.
Although I noticed that icomplete.el often proposes the most
relevant elements first, but I never investigated how it does this,
maybe by frequency?
