Is S/MIME really that widely used? It seems to be sort of widely deployed, but not necessarily understood or required by users in secure environments.

yes. And it's already supported in many clients without plugins, many companies just sign their mails. You probably don't even notice that if you don't know where to look. It's very unobtrusive compared to gpg.

It's widely used in US government/military. DISA runs key escrow for users' encryption keys that are carried around on smartcards.
