Are you sure MIPS is only used in crap routers? For example https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-lite/ this is MIPS as documented for example https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MIPS/ERLite-3 here. Also, one of the first 802.11ac Wave 2 routers from Xirrus, that's also MIPS, isn't it? http://www.wireless-mag.com/News/34108/xirrus-selects-cavium...

MIPS (Cavium and Broadcom) and PowerPC (Freescale QorIQ) are big players in the Networking market currently, but the next generation of processors from those companies mentioned above will be ARMv8

Cavium is still producing MIPS64 as well as ARM64, although whether they will continue to do so is unclear.

MIPS is still a big player in the TV market, and similar devices (DVD, BluRay players etc.).
