Many believe the number is much higher than 40 million.

ATF Says a Quarter Million Guns Registered Under Pistol-Brace Ban
Stephen Gutowski June 2, 2023 4:47 pm
Only a fraction of the guns affected by the ATF’s new rule were registered with the agency during the four-month grace period that ended this week.
The ATF told The Reload on Friday it has received just over a quarter million applications to register pistol-brace-equipped firearms. Registering the affected guns was one path toward avoiding possible criminal punishment for possessing the guns under the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) after the agency implemented a rule reclassifying the firearms as subject to NFA restrictions. The ATF waived the tax requirement for registration to encourage owners to comply before the deadline.
“The final rule provided possessors of such firearms the option to comply with the registration requirements of the National Firearms Act through a tax-free process using either the ATF eForms System or a paper application process with a deadline for such applications of 11:59 PM (ET) on May 31, 2023,” Erik Longnecker, Deputy Chief of the ATF’s Public Affairs Division, told The Reload. “As of June 1, 2023, ATF received 255,162 applications for tax-free registration.”
That number represents just a fraction of the braced guns believed to have been sold in the decade since the ATF first classified a version as outside the scope of the NFA. In the impact assessment for the rule, the ATF estimated that three to seven million devices exist. However, the Congressional Research Service puts the number much higher at somewhere between 10 and 40 million.

I'm assuming at least a couple million people own them and have no idea about the rule change, since it's complex and was barely covered in the mainstream media.
A couple million people probably discarded or destroyed theirs to be compliant.
Registering was always the least likely option. I ditched mine just because the headache of this whole thing isn't worth it for 10.5" vs 16"

My home defense rifle was already a 16", and my range toys are setup for accuracy, so they are all 16" or 20". The pistols I owned were for chits and giggles.
Anyone willing to risk a felony for something that's literally a novelty needs to analyze their risk/reward calculation. What is the plan, to get into a Ruby Ridge situation when they come to take your plastic brace? Or to serve time over it?

We just got through two years of the govt telling everyone to close their businesses and lock themselves in their homes with muzzles on their faces, waiting for their orders to be injected with a medical experiment. And there wasn't even meaningful pushback to that. lol

The media will label it as a white supremacist neon nazi uprising and the fat brained diversity and liberal americans wont even question it.
