That much hein? Well I'm glad that most players are on the same wave length.

Speaking from my observations as a NAM Team member, I'd say the overall percentage of all SC4 owners who have the NAM is quite a bit lower than 95%.  There's still a pretty sizable number of SC4 players out there who own the game but aren't aware of our community, except maybe peripherally.  Their lack of presence on sites/forums makes them functionally anonymous, and difficult to actually count, however, but knowing sales vs. overall NAM downloads, the rate of NAM adoption among the population of all SC4 owners is probably closer to 25%. 

That said, among users who are aware of our community, an overwhelming majority of them have at least downloaded the NAM--probably at least 75%.  If we go to people who are active in our community, then the 95% figure might stand up.  The mod has, overall, gotten somewhere in excess of 2 million downloads in its 13 years of existence--at least a million from the STEX (the current download count is inaccurate, and a result of the NAM getting accidentally deleted off the STEX twice in 2011--it was sitting around 680,000 before deletion, IIRC), around 350,000 from the LEX/SC4D, somewhere in the 300,000 range from ModDB, and probably a few hundred thousand from non-English sites (esp. German sites) and other distribution points.  A considerable percentage of those are re-downloads, as picking up a new version counts as a new download.

Waouh!! that"s a big difference! Yet @Tarkus and @CorinaMarie are both right, even with a few % points off or on, since the first uses overall users -including non ST players- and the second is talking about ST members. Which means I am glad that I am member here, for better or worst.
