What is the difference between "only 20% or 30% of the world winds up benefiting" and "only 20% or 30% of the world is finally benefited"?
"Wind up" means "To come or bring to a finish; end" - so they seem to be the same. I am not sure. Perhaps the former is more natural. I am not sure.

Proponents of the waiver disagree, pointing out that generics manufacturers have been supplying the world with high-quality vaccines and medicines for years. They point out that taxpayers helped to foot the bill for the development of several COVID-19 vaccines, and say that the claim that pharmaceutical companies must recoup all the costs is therefore unfair — especially during a crisis. Several other obstacles must be addressed, however, such as making sure distribution is equitable.
Cohen says: “These vaccines are an unparalleled triumph for science, but if only 20% or 30% of the world winds up benefiting, what is the point of the innovation?”
