The true number is somewhere between this worst case and the numbers Waymo presents.
Most driver interventions that I've seen on video were not narrowly missed accidents; they're the car being confused by road construction, a double parked driver, pedestrians spilling onto a street etc.
I have also seen (for Tesla at least), videos of driver interventions that definitely would have been accidents if the driver hadn't stepped in.
I definitely agree with your point that I'd love to see more in-depth figures and the CA DMV might release those more detailed figures? I'm not sure.
EDIT: Sure enough, the CA DMV disengagement reports list the exact cause (https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/autonomous-vehicles/disengagement-reports/ https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/auto...)
