I actually agree with what you’ve written here, but not in this context. This IS a formal context where the recruitment poster in the image isn’t trying to be clever or interesting or funny, which are all valid contexts for different uses of established language rules, they’re just wrong. Additionally the OP comment here wasn’t being rude by offering the correct word for the context, I saw it as offering assistance to someone forming their sentence incorrectly.
Less people enforce arbitrary outdated “rules”
More people let language evolve like the living thing it is
Less people care about prescriptivism outside of formal contexts
More the language reflects reality rather than being left to stagnate and die

It’s not a formal context, it’s very obviously written in a breezy and casual style, where attention-grabbing is more important than formalities
The call-response format is short-long in stressing, which gives it a PUNCH that “fewer” would lose as well
Feels more punchy than
Also, it’s not a recruitment poster, it’s a political advocacy poster.
Again I disagree with your assessment and assertions.
Ah yeah, I always use “wanna” in formal context, like all the time
