End users aren’t the customer.

Yup, and there are a lot less bakers around now that machines do most of it.
Show threadSpaceNoodleMar 13
No, I think there are fewer bakers.

Is this a grammer thing? I’m fairly certain I can use “a lot less”.

It is a grammar thing. You can have a lot less of a non-count noun, like sand. But you have to have fewer of countable nouns, like loaves of bread, or bakers of bread

Non-countable? I think some vampires might disagree.

I also thought Thor relevant but I can’t find anything to support that.

Whether something is a. Punt or non-count noun is more convention than actual ability to be counted
