not only is this a seemingly random site that needs you to use an account to access part of the information, all you need to do is not look at a random site that pulls stats out of their arse like you say, they dont explain where the data comes from, they dont explain anything.
I dont need to pull random ass data from that sketch site, this small amount of legwork is far more than necessary nor what you deserve for being a dick about it: (lets not forget you just say “elsewhere” without showing us, well, anything)
firefox addon site users:
ublock origin: 6.713.504
adblocker ultimate: 2.286.976
adguard adblocker: 991.481
block site: 518.605
adblock plus: 4.236.338
ghostery: 1.104.375
adblock for firefox: 1.166.799
everything else is too small and inconsequential to mention, same with github, thats a total of 17.018.078, firefox usercount FROM firefox, about 188 million
data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity
since webstore doesnt use proper numbers we can only assume but:
adblock best adblocker: 10million+
adblock plus: 10million+
adaway: 2million+
ublock origin: 10million+
thats again, only super roughly but 32 million users compared to chromes rough 3.3 BILLION users
both of these may nto be exactly 0.01 % sure, but we are all inconsequential and mean nothing compared to the total count of uers, who barely know what a browser is, let alone what an adblocker is.

Google is not going to all this effort for a rounding error

Or maybe this is a proof of concept for completely blocking adblock across the web. YouTube is just a demo.

That can’t really be done to people who don’t use chrome. People who use chrome are morons though and might not realise they can just switch software.
