I wonder how much of youtube content is hardcoded sponsor ads.

That's what sponsor block is for.

You can download the entire SponsorBlock database (see https://sponsor.ajay.app/database and https://github.com/mchangrh/sb-mirror ), so it should be possible to calculate a reasonably accurate answer to OP's question.

You'd need to estimate for the videos absent from the database, of course.
