I hear people wondering, "WTF is LAHF?"

It's a CPU instruction.

So that's a reasonable idea, but those kinds of systems have been around for a long time and I don't recall these ever going above 100.

Was meant as a joke, sorry

I'm assuming that that field internally is just a long string and they parse it and then count the occurrences. So if something, let's say depending on a different API, is getting reported for both of the features, it will be counted double.

Same user, more than one computer?

I was wondering that. But I don't believe they track it that way otherwise I would expect all the categories to be this way instead of just the cpu features.
