I agree with your general premise that they most likely are not included, but very much disagree with your assessment that 25 out of every 1000 are like you and adding every game.  Before the paywalled online I would've agreed completely.  Nowadays though, I think the number of people who have it because they want to be able to play their games online that have no idea there are also free games outweighs the number of people who "purchase" every game and I think both are dwarfed by the people who only go through the effort of getting the games they want.

 

Edit: That said, I would love to see official numbers from Sony on the engagement for PS+ games.  Would be interesting to have validation for one side or the other in all of it.

Think of it in terms of how many hardcore PlayStation fans there are, those will subscribe to ps+ and those will add all games to there account.

One figure we do have is from the Rocket League Devs, Rocket League was downloaded 6 million times on ps+ in July 2015, and back in January 2015 there were only 11m subscribers.

 

The game was free at launch for PS4 owners, which led to 6 million downloads and enormous amounts of buzz. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/268923/Smart_calls_timing_luck_amp__poverty_How_Rocket_League_succeeded.php

Those numbers certainly lend credence to your argument.  I am on board.
