How much abundance does technetium have?

Technetium (Tc) is a synthetic element and does not have stable isotopes; its most common isotope, technetium-98, has a half-life of about 4.2 million years. In nature, technetium is found in trace amounts, primarily produced as a byproduct of uranium fission in nuclear reactors. Its abundance in the Earth's crust is extremely low, estimated at about 0.0007 parts per million. Overall, technetium is not naturally occurring in significant quantities and is mostly produced artificially for various applications.

Why are technetium neptunium and promethium considered natural elements even though they are not found on earth?

In the last years technetium, prometium, neptunium and plutonium was found in the nature but in extremely low concentrations.Because they are found in the universe. They have been observed in the spectrum of certain stars.
