The questions are:
1) How many cans are being used to convert from R12 to R134a,

My guess would just slightly less than 100% "illegally" converted. If the adapters were not legally available that number would be more like less than 5%...

2) How many cars are being used to refill cars converted to R134a,

Enough to bring us to 100%

3) Of the cans used to fill factory R134a vehicles, post 92 year cars, what is leaking

Nothing, repairs required.

Define a 'shade tree mechanic', lol
Someone mechanically inclined but not trained or employed as such...most DIYers.
