Well the article says the botnet is infecting 14,000 routers and other devices a day. Not that there are only 14k infected routers in the world.

The number of infected routers averages about 14,000 per day, up from 10,000 last August, when Black Lotus discovered the botnet.

    That's a misreading of what it means. The botnet averages 14,000 routers + IoT devices a day, not new devices per day. Every day, devices cycle in and out of these botnets, so their count is always in flux.
