I'm going to take this number out of my ass but I'd say that only 1% of the people that watch a video will go read the full description unless there is a specific resource they are looking for(usually links)

Watching YT videos on Xbox or Chromecast makes looking at the descriptions impossible
You also can't view annotations on Xbox or Chromecast.
You're probably not too far off in that assessment. I find myself going to the description only if the video says there are links to follow in it, or if I really like the music and I want to see if they are credited (which is how I discovered the band Foreign Fields, watching the John Neeman Tools blacksmithing videos).
