If we assume a similar rate of removal in this decade

You can't assume that.

Someone with one bitcoin is a LOT more careful with that today at $20K than they might have been when one bitcoin was $20, or $0.20.

Also, the methods for key management are much better today. And thus losses because the keys weren't backed up, or otherwise able to be recovered, will be much smaller.
