I think it's an unreasonable question. What would you accept as an
answer? Who could possibly be autoritative at estimating such a number?
How would you choose between competing authorities and estimates?

It should be sufficient to realise that the reality of internet
infrastructure in most countries makes it preferable – at least some of
the time, for some significant, even if small, number of users – to read
the documentation on local storage instead of on the internet.
