Right. The "thought experiment" math is a tight packing of theoretical RNA molecules, and not intended to be taken literally, without a dilution factor; but only to show [some] people their intuition is WAY off about the power of large numbers to "create" unlikely patterns.

For example, if you ask most people how many randomly occurring Rubiks Cubes will just be accidentally solved even with Avogrdro's number of them, their answer is usually zero; and unsurprisingly they're the same ones claiming there had to be a God to create even the initial replicator.
