I thought the ID's even in non-fragmented datagrams gave an idea of how many

Only fragmented datagrams get counted. This is arguably
a weakness of the scheme, but it's still a big improvement
in practice. And the more common non-fragmented datagram
processing doesn't have to pay the price for the extra
checks.
