You can achieve this using the 'category__not_in' => 6 parameter – Tunji Commented Dec 30, 2016 at 4:56

You're trying to count posts excluding one category? – Tunji Commented Dec 30, 2016 at 16:34
Yeap that's right! – sot Commented Dec 30, 2016 at 16:37
Updated the code to use get_term so as to accommodate custom taxonomies – Tunji Commented Dec 30, 2016 at 16:50

I don't know of a direct method to achieve this, you should be able to get the category count using get_term then subtract that from the total.

function product_count_shortcode( $atts ) {

    $data = shortcode_atts( array(
        'cat_id'    => 144,
        'taxonomy'  => 'category'
    ), $atts );

    $category = get_term( $data['cat_id'], $data['taxonomy'] );
    $count = $category->count;
    $count_posts = wp_count_posts( 'product' );
    return (int)$count_posts->publish - (int)$count;
}
add_shortcode( 'product_count', 'product_count_shortcode' );

From iguanarama answer:

You can also use WP_Query

$myQuery = new WP_Query ([
    'post_type' => 'product',
    'cat' => '-144',
    'post_status' => 'publish'
]);
$count = ($myQuery ? $myQuery->found_posts : 0);

You could run a new WP_Query using a '-' for categories to exclude:

$myQuery = new WP_Query ([
    'post_type' => 'product',
    'cat' => '-144',
    'post_status' => 'publish'
]);
$count = ($myQuery ? $myQuery->found_posts : 0);
