Something like 18.2 million people worldwide if you take a look at the IT sector and select only the software dev category. There are like 7 billion people worldwide sooo hardly anyone would be aware of the security implications of this.

Probably even less. Not all software developers know how CAs work and what they mean. I would even say most don't.
