According to the stats on the original link, there are over 25,000 identified secret ids/keys/tokens in the data. And it looks like that's just identifiable secrets, e.g. "Google API Keys" that I'm guessing are identifiable because they have a specific pattern, and may be missing other secrets that use less recognizable patterns.
I mean, sure, compared to the 478,876 Projects claimed on https://pypi.org/ https://pypi.org/, that's a pretty small minority. On the other hand, I'd guess many Python packages don't use these particular services, or even need to connect to a remote service at all, so the area for this class of mistake should be smaller.
And mistakes do happen, but that's a pretty big thing to miss if you are knowingly publishing your code with the expectation other people will be reading it.
