I wouldn’t doubt that 75% or more of people don’t. Back before encryption was standard on Windows laptops my ex sold her laptop on eBay and forgot to wipe it, it had a bunch of nudes on it that she sent me over the years. Instead of just assuming the person would wipe it she messaged them and told them to wipe it because she had forgotten to and asked them to please not look at the contents of the drive 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Not immediately wiping a used device that hasn’t already been wiped is such a hazard. If they didn’t wipe it, they’re probably technologically illiterate enough that it’s loaded with tons of malware too.
I rescued a 2010 Macbook Pro from a recycling dropoff and the previous owner did not wipe it. They had an Excel file with all their logins in it. Bank accounts and all.
I remember my first therapist telling me that he stored all of his logins in a text document on his computer. I told him that was a horrible idea and he was like “why? 🤔”
