#8I wouldn't be surprised if most of the money was coming from people's savings books. With zero interest rates, the next best thing to store one's savings is an ETF.
I feel like the increase in stock prices in the recent years is caused by this demand, not by an increase in productivity. The sinking ROI of dividend-driven stocks is an indicator for that.

In an economic crises, will everyone try to sell the same set of funds and will crash the funds themselves?

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Articles like this showed up for Enron and MCI/WorldCom and all the others, extolling one virtue or another and showcasing their success. Now we have one for Vanguard, ergo it will fail.
I'm not serious, of course. But pride does seem to come before the fall, and just out of an excess of caution I might move some money out of my vanguard funds next week.
