The 'thousands' in low numbers is the more accurate quantity.

Why?
  An end user using an Oct or Nov 24H2 Media Creation Tool media(USB or 
CD/DVD) system would have to not be updated with the neither the Oct or 
Nov LCU(with its included SSU).


Timeline is an impacting factor.

The initial article(Zdnet, Lance Whitney) was written on Dec. 30th, the 
MCT for creating USB/CD/DVD media was updated on Dec. 24th.
  -i.e. the author on the initial referenced article, while possibly well 
intention-ed, reported the issue ~6 days, after mitigation.

The likelihood of 'millions' having downloaded the pre-December MCT and 
not having updated to 24H2 via Windows Update or the Catalog's LCU/SSU 
and then used that earlier MCT created USB/CD/DVD media would be a 
marginal quantity(especially when the majority of all users rely on 
Windows Updates(and that majority would also include Enterprise admin 
managed which have long practiced updating via admin tools and to a 
lesser extent USB/CD/DVD media(preferring available current 
install.wim(not install.esd) ISO's.

i.e. The article is just another of Whitney's often released missives 
leaving out current and useful information in the context of the article
