does that majority have to include you or I?
Of course not - if I disconnect my PC, I can't reach anyone. But this side discussion isn't helpful in any way.
and show me the global routing table please?
This is kinda difficult, as everybody has a local view of it, of course.

The Internet in one mesh of interconected networks that run the IP protocol suite. There are others. Military networks, Closed commercial networks, Financial networks, Research networks, ... its a long list.
So what? If those networks decide to use different rules for IP/IPv6 address allocation and usage, why should we care? If they decide to become part of "The Internet", then they are part of the global routing table/system. Sorry, but I don't get your point.
