Not as much as I tend to exaggerate. I actually only had about a dozen or so that had it turned off when the time came to start testing all of them. A couple were self-inflicted (bad key practices so I had avoided turning it on).

A lot of the time they have the support and just never bothered to enable it, it's just a matter of asking.

An interesting observation is that we're now past the original generation of IT staff who just assume they know how keys are supposed to be handled and would try to change it every year and into a new generation that wouldn't even think of doing anything not self-signed unless you were to point it out to them.

Thanks, all, for the comments.  I'll try and let you know the outcome with this vendor.
