Probably lots if they were large enough to get a /16.

The flip side of this argument could be taken as: this holder's interest in
maintaining their /16 (i.e. probably infrastructure which is very important
to their business) is so small that in a period of 13 years, they couldn't
be bothered spending a couple of hours updating the registry details for it.

Leaving things for so long in a situation like this is likely to cause
difficulties, but registrants have a duty of care to their infrastructure.

I appreciate that this causes classification difficulties.
