It's still a lot. Mastodon has grown enormously. If Twitter keeps burning and Mastodon can handle the influx (the latter is the bigger 'if' here), that it may continue to grow.

It's entirely possible (although I personally think it unlikely).

Regardless, < 1% is not a lot of Twitter users by pretty much any stretch. I think people in tech or fringe communities are seeing a high uptake in their own groups and assuming that to be reflective of Twitter users at large.
