My company has way more than 6,000 devs and each dev creates a git repo as part of our onboarding process and uploads it to our centralized git tool (you create and push a mostly empty test repo as part of the basic training). Just from that, I'd imagine my company has tens of thousands of git repos, although a lot of them probably only have a single file or some random throwaway code.

The number of git repos might look big but without knowing more, the content of most of those repos could be a complete nothingburger. Number of git repos is pretty meaningless metric, IMO.
