Why ETFs are screened differently
An ETF holds dozens or hundreds of underlying securities, so its halal status depends on (1) whether those holdings are individually Shariah-compliant, (2) whether the fund screens and purifies, and (3) the fund's own structure (e.g. interest earned on cash). You can't judge it with a single company's debt-to-market-cap ratio — which is why HalalGauge shows a curated summary for funds rather than a company screen.
