Honestly 7000 sounds high, but then you need to consider that they have to prove compliance in 188 different countries and 44 languages. And probably need a exactly not small team in each of these. And the customers are enterprise, banks and so on. So everything needs to be negotiated and documented just right and those aren't known to be fast processes. And then you might need separate infra for many of these. Or even many of the customers.

In the end it is not complexity of the product itself, but where and how and by whom it is used. And proving that it ticks all the boxes.
