I'd consider Cursor one user because it's one entity that made an editorial decision about which model to make available to their own community.

If you treated Cursor as millions of users it might look like millions of people independently chose a new model when actually it was Cursor making the choice for them - and the thing I care most about is how many choices were made that selected a model and put it above the others.

An alternative viewpoint is that the single choice made about switching the Cursor model was done after extensive testing by a competent and experienced team. Whereas my naive self choosing a model to play with this week is far less a signal to others that the model is fit for purpose.
