Users or accounts? I made an account but I use it approximately once every two weeks for about 30 minutes at a time, as it hasn't been that useful for me (needs more up-to-date info after September 2021).
I imagine many people made an account but only a small percentage are using it meaningfully often.
Also users are limited in the number of requests they can make. I have a feeling ChatGPT is actually very expensive to run, and they are burning cash like crazy.
If they weren't burning cash to run the thing, it would be more widely available.
