Are the underlying numbers published somewhere?
Hanlon's razor suggests to look at the most stupid explanation available for this number. The easiest piece of statistics currently available to someone who's looking for one in a hurry is the "unique devices" bit for "all Wikipedias": https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/all-wikipedia-projects/reading/unique-devices/normal|line|all|(access-site)~mobile-site*desktop-site|monthly
This metric is widely misunderstood, but it's used nevertheless. It's even incorrectly quoted in the second paragraph of [[Wikipedia]] to support a figure on "unique visitors" (of which it says nothing). https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia&oldid=1015734941#cite_note-Wikimedia_Stats-13
It might be a coincidence, but the latest reading on that metric is 130 % of the first: it went from 1460 G in 2017-04 to 1910 G in 2021-03. Most of this change is presumably the increase in the number of devices available to people, but the trend might be meaningful when narrowed down to shorter periods and/or geographies/languages where the number of devices per household has remained relatively constant in this period.
