Or people simply don't know about SASS yet. E.g. I just heard of it last month.

While I didn't use SASS so far I do not think it will cause such big problems. If SASS doesn't adopt CSS variables syntax, it will just continue parsing variables in it's own syntax and it's fine. Or it will adopt CSS variables and produce less code. The only disadvantage for SASS would be one point less on their features list.
So people using SASS will continue using it and it will work.
