generally agree, but I bet there is more like 500-5000 people that understand this kind of stuff. Most modern web tools support at least some basic functionality of synchronously working on the same document.

Concurrency is really broad problem space with a million applications, but not real-time editing of an indeterminate data object. Concurrent modification of a row in a database is a perfect example of deeply complex problem that 99% of us don't really need to understand beyond how to use the API. If you know how to commit a transaction, you don't need to read the thousands of dissertations on how to process them optimally.
