I have ~2.5k packages currently installed on this computer I'm using. I frequently access 10 different computers directly, with very different configurations.

Those TOS have usually between 10 and 100 pages, the mean seems to be on the lower end, probably around 20. That would make 500k pages of unreadable legalese that I would be required to know by hearth and not miss any detail. A TOS also usually changes every year, so those numbers are yearly. So yeah, people don't read the TOS and complain. Rightly so.

On practice it's not that large a problem, because a TOS on software running on my computer is an extremely user hostile action that completely removes a software from my consideration.
