And what difference does it make? One is going to shoot until the engagement is over or they run out anyway.
I find it hard to believe that people can accurately do this in combat. I guess there are those that can.
Now I will count remaining magazines every now and then from behind cover.

Exactly.
I cannot reliably count down a 15 or 30 round mag under stress with everything else that is going on. Some may be able to.
IMHO, I prefer to practice reloading quickly, check ammo status when the tactical situation permits, and try not to move out from cover without having topped off.
Others may be more talented in this area.
