I'm sorry, but no. PluralKit only really impacts a tiny minority of the userbase to begin with. It isn't enough to cause people outside that group to choose the platform, nor is it enough for people outside of that minority to avoid moving to whatever the next big thing is.
No, I definitely have friends who are allies and who care about accessibility for their friends.
You are certainly not wrong, but I think even if you add up all people with multiple personalities + their friends willing to stick with Discord due to Pluralkit, I would be very surprised if you'd be within less than 4 digits after the comma percentage-wise.
I think @Kangie was mostly responding to the clickbaity title of it being Discord's "secret weapon" to keep everyone on the platform when no, it just would not matter. It's like Mastodon and Twitter. The people who really, truly care are already on Mastodon and the rest is where the biggest community is.
