I just wanted to chime in. I used to read solely visually (from what I remember) but now I cannot stop subvocalizing. I was already a neurotic person but I genuinely think about this every time I read now and it's kind of distressing. It's also very hard to focus on what I'm reading because I'm constantly thinking on a meta level about how I'm reading. I find this is less intense if I'm reading something online and not in book form. Anyway my point was just that I think you are 100% correct in that there are people who do not subvocalize, but if you try to test it they will probably subvocalize.
