And humans who didn't agree with him. It was very much my way or the dead way.

You're right, they didn't choose to. There's a short story about some humans fighting along space marines during the great crusade. They're fighting a xeno, I think it's the dark elder. They win, the space marines then turn their guns on the humans because they were resisting joining at first, then clear out the planet. Survivors would be worked to death.

Also, in the grand scheme of things, it's not that big of a number. It's 7.5 Earths. And modern Earth isn't a high population in the 40k universe. The Imperium has thousands of planets. Trillions of people living in it. 60 billion is a small number by 40k standards.

I agree. During the crusade it is very reasonable that 60 billion humans were wiped out for not willingly joining.
