The question was really about actual usage, a question which is typically answered with "I use it" which is somewhat less interesting for people doing market research. Talking about the latter, the fact is that almost the entire "Web authentication industry" are betting on FIDO alliance products and so have the W3C. Fighting the industry giants may be fun, but without a concerted action, you get absolutely nowhere. BTW, a core idea behind Web ID has always been to *NOT* invent (=only rely on existing technology), which is a self-imposed limitation.

Fundamentally, you need a Identifiers and a Profile documents controlled by users for the Web to work. Failing to make this shift will simply continue to challenge the Web & Internet for the worse.
