I may not understand cock.li, what feature/aspect does this quote refer to: "Cock.li has not had a successful demand for user information since 2017, thanks in large part to better education of law enforcement that contact cock.li."

It refers to the size of cock.li. It's so small that it didn't get into Protonmail's situation yet.

I would also bet they may have handed out some select information but it just hasn't "hit the news". I would say cock.li is certainly big enough that someone has used it in a criminal matter eg child pornography, bomb threats etc.

With email it's either that or they go after wherever you're hosting from.

cock.li was indeed used for bomb threats - https://www.dailydot.com/debug/cock-li-email-service-vincent...
