Sinister lefty ideas

I've never bought a Vintage (brand) guitar, but was interested in a new model they put out in righty only. I reached out to ask about lefties, and for the first time ever, I was told:

"80% of left handed guitar players play right handed" :?

I had to quote it from the email because yikes, who believes that? It might have been kinda true 85 years ago, but today it's ridiculous.

Response:
"If you think 80% of lefties identify as righties then you can also identify us lefties as permanently not your customers".

I have no idea what the percentage is but seriously doubt that 80% figure. I do know some labels do not or no longer stock lefty guitars because they don't sell nearly as quickly as left-handed ones...

80% of companies will lie in order to justify the shortcomings of their business model.
