The Pages that are found in Google Search Console’s coverage report under Excluded and mentioned as Crawled- But not Indexed is a matter of quality issues with not only to those pages but with site also? John Mueller Reverted to Ori Zilbershtein reverted that this may be a sign.

Question Ori Zilbershtein asked:
In GSC there are pages which are “crawled – currently not indexed”, in some cases these are extremely important pages in a site, how can a site owner make sure they get indexed?
John Responded:
you can’t force pages to be indexed — it’s normal that we don’t index all pages on all websites. It’s not an issue with “that page”, it’s more site-wide. Creating a good site structure and making sure the site is of the highest quality possible is essentially the direction.

Some more chatter on it:
If there are overall issues with your site, you need to look at the rest of your site, not the URLs that didn't end up getting indexed.

A lot of things go into whether or not a URL is indexed. I wouldn't … over-index … on quality, and I wouldn't assume that overall website quality improvements are simple technical tweaks. Also, significantly improving the quality of a website has effects across the board.

It's not meant to highlight low quality content issues. See it the same as looking at the performance report and noticing that you're only ranking for a portion of the queries you care about, and only ranking on page 2. It's up to you to decide what to do with that.
