I think the argument goes that "13 million usernames on LJ" doesn't equal 13 million users.
And a lot of the people with multiple accounts - multiple paid accounts - are fannish. While someone who uses it in a network manner a la MySpace (ie. an adolescent blogger) is only going to have the free version and won't pony up for the paid and extra features.
It's showing how many journals actually belong to fans, not just showing how many users of LJ there are.
