I'm not sure I understand this analysis. HiveBuzz just told me I've received more than 37000 HP as payout for my posts, comments, and curation a few days ago, and I'm almost to 57,000 HP, so simplifying the math a bit, my KE would be approximately 37/57, or about 0.649, correct?
A lot of that is because when we forked from Steemit, I traded all my STEEM holdings for HIVE as fast as I could power down and get out of Justin Sun's orbit. And that would make my KE on the old chain pretty astronomical because I probably still have a few staked SP out of several thousand earned, right?
You are 100% correct. You do understand the math. It’s a simple math. No big deal :)
Your KE ratio is exceptionally good.

Type any hive account and find out :)
I'm still not sure what this means, though. It's still just a single data point in isolation.
It a a net measure of your current status of your rewards relative to the HP you hold. Yes, it’s a single measure. There is really nothing more to understand. :)
But who said you have to look at it in isolation? I am NOT looking at it in isolation and having fun looking at it across various dimensions
I can confidently say if someone’s KE is 10, his/her behavior is different compared to a person with KE=1
So it's basically a quick measure to see if someone is here to contribute or exploit, with the caveat that it doesn't account for people who need to power down for unexpected expenses and other situational effects.
What if you added a modifier for account age and post count? If someone was active for 3 years, powered down 6 months ago, and returned to powering up, that should mean something different from someone who started posting last month and is frantically powering down every HP they earn to send it to an exchange.
All these measures that you suggest are there in the data. Yes they can be investigated and added as a metric/plot/dimension
