Anyone been told they have lung nodules during routine testing?

I don't think, at this point, that you have a reason to be scared. It is great that you have a followup every to years
One radiologist told me "If we did a full-body CT of every adult, nearly 100% would show "significant anomalies" in some part of the body. It is the job of the radiologist to report each and every one of them in detail. And it is the job of the ordering doctor(s) to determine if the finding has any clinical significance."
Ground Glass Nodules can be caused by many things, but the fact that they are numerous and unchanged after 10 years probably indicates they are an "artifact" of an old lung infection or irritation.
By any chane, are you a former smoker or vaper (of any substance)?

No to both. I have something called CVID or Common Variable Immuno depression. I don't make antibodies to viruses or bacteria to fight them so I do infusions of other people's blood plasma to get their antibodies. It's gamma globulin IgG. Sort of like the Boy in the Bubble disease but not as bad as his was. People like me have all sorts of weird things so not too surprised.
