Arbitration is an abbreviated legal proceeding designed to be much faster and cheaper than litigation. It is not designed to be a substitute for legal representation. The idea of going into arbitration against a company without a lawyer seems absolutely insane to me and I would bet that the number of plaintiffs with representation is close to 100%. I also do not have actual data on this, though.
