...i mean, cyberpunk had over a million concurrent players on steam and that didn't stop it from being massively controversial or with a ton of refunds. also in order to refund the game those people need to be in that pool of concurrent players.

similarly the expectation is that yeah you'll lose 70%+ of concurrent players a month later so that won't affect much, though it does help show what legs a game may have. but neither is/will be that relevant.
