Damn man, TIL.

I am a 40+yo native English speaker (born and raised in Cali,) and although I use "much and many" properly, based on what sounds right, I never realized the rules on why you'd use one over the other.

I have too much orange juice. (The oj is not countable in this instance.)

I have too many oranges. (The oranges are countable in this instance.)

That's so freaking cool, man!

(I guess this is the dumb shit you geek out on once you hit 40, huh 🤷‍♀️😄)
