Plenty still aren't using it. I can't get XFCE on Wayland (a shame, I'd like that) nor can I get LXQt, or Cinnamon, or MATE (there's Wayland prototypes but nothing concrete), or Budgie, or Pantheon, or...
The list of distributions using it is way smaller than the list of distributions that continue to use X. People use X because it's the default, or there's no alternative display server implementation for their desktop.
