Locally-scoped (i.e. static) variables are, by definition, not global variables. The article is pretty clear that the 10,0000 figure refers to truly global variables, and I would hope that the original expert witness has not misled us by referring to static variables as 'global'. (Of course, without being able to see the source, there's no way to make our own judgement.)
Sadly, you would be surprised at the number of embedded systems that store and pass around their state using global variables, despite the obvious stupidity of that approach.
(For the record, I am not a web dev and I did indeed spend several years working in the field of embedded development.)
