Let me emphasize the "may not have signed up". We don't know. (So, more research.)
BUT, the number of men who do these things should be as close to zero as nature / nurture allows. There will always be some who are willing to hurt others for their own selfish reasons. However, there is no ethically acceptable reason for the # in any given society to be in double digits, much less 60, 80, or 95%.
We can do better. Seems like we could barely do worse.

Certainly, the wording of the original request for participants may have turned off many men who would never use the strategies --- the wording was basically "let's hear the men's side of the story". If you have never been in a he-said / she-said situation, you may not have signed up for the research.
My feeling is that this is important research, and further research is needed.

I believe you are correct. There are some language issues with the writing, imho, that may cause some confusion, but the paper clearly states that:
"Of the final sample of 2,689 men, 95.1% reported having recently used at least one of the strategies to force a woman to have sex" (Results section, para 1)
They then say that the ones who did not were demographically indistinguishable from the 95% group.
Likely the 95% group then received follow up questions.
