Are you sure? The most I've seen on job boards are about 200 to 400 remote companies. Even assuming a magnitude more no more than a couple thousand. Your assumption on literal numbers are off and need significant correction.

There are estimated 10,7 million companies in the US. US has roughly 1/ world's GDP, so we can estimate that there are at least 40 million companies in the world (a figure around 100M+ looks more realistic estimate to me, but let's stick to 40M).

Simple DDG search [1] says that somewhere around 45-80% of companies are pro-remote. Which definitely puts the number of such companies into TENS of millions.
