Ethernodes is known to be inaccurate [0] and is missing a lot of nodes because they can't index nodes that are maxed out on peers or are behind NAT and can't accept incoming connections from nodes they haven't connected to first. I know this for a fact because my own personal node (been online for over a year now) is not indexed on ethernodes, nor are 70% of the peers my node has. Only 2 out of my 15 peers are AWS IP addresses.
As a general rule - its very difficult to get anything close to an authoritative census of a decentralized peer to peer protocol.
