You forgot the, "Most just install mods"

Only those who actually care would bother to install mods.

The majority of people aren't going to buy a game that needss mods to be fun. The ones who mod are the ones who enjoy the game enough to want to keep it interesting.

And not all who mod do it to make the game harder or easier. All my mods just add features the devs either should have added or will likely add at some point. Like a pause for solo play, a quick connect list of saved servers and using the blast furnace to smelt ALL the metals. before H&H I had some mods to hide map pins and share map data with other players.

Modders are the minority of players. Just look at the number of total downloads on the popular mods for Valheim, 3,000-5,000 average in most cases, out of aprox 10,000,000 copies sold. Even just going by the number of daily players modders likely make up only a few percent at best.
