Not every abstract idea/emotion is going to get a Miraculous, but if that is the case, I really, really doubt the series would put time and effort to show every single kwami with or without Miraculous. If we only see the nineteen confirmed (a few extra possible noting some of the Miraculous holders in the first Origins episode), even if there are loads more in existence in or out of Master Fu's box, I think the viewers would be easily satisfied.

I calculated once that if every "shelf" of the box, which appear to be split off where the lines around the box go, had room for seven Miraculous like the top shelf, at the most, there could be twenty-eight Miraculouses that could fit into that box at the most. That's a lot, but it's why I don't believe nineteen to twenty-eight Miraculouses are going to be seen, at least not most of them consistently in-series. A book sold in stores with that extra information of what other Miraculouses/kwamis exist would be fun (like Journal 3 for Gravity Falls or other books for series that expand on the universe outside the show), and it would be a way to showcase a lot without the expectation or force to see all of them in the show. Anyways, if the crew is already showing reluctance to make three new Miraculous holders full-time, I get the sense that hopefully they'll be careful how many more part-time Miraculous holders exist and special guests Miraculous holders show up from time to time.

As for the Order of the Guardians, while Miraculouses are probably in high-desire with many villainous people willing to find ways to steal them, it seems like a lot of people to train for so few and so few instances of distributing/retrieving them. Visual flashback images can't be taken as perfect example, I know, but I counted about 48 children being trained. We don't know how the system works, so there could be loads more of adults in various generations above who are finished with training. That's a lot of people for only nineteen Miraculouses, no matter how high the threat level is for Miraculouses falling into wrong hands, so it's part of why I feel like there are a lot more Miraculouses than we'll ever see, maybe many not contained in that box, for such a huge society to be formed to send people out for Miraculous deliveries, Miraculous retrievals, and Miraculous guarding.

Anything's possible, though. "The Collector" has only scratched the surface of the history of Miraculouses and the importance of the Order of the Guardians. With so much left to discuss and wonder about, it's nice that the show finally gave us some new information to base theories and discussions around. Supposedly, we'll get more info on the history of the kwamis too, so the ball can only keep rolling from here.
