You're hearing about it now because 99+% of people who use YAML have no idea about how horrible the spec is. They just assume that it's like what strictyaml strives to be and don't understand why "such an elegant, simple and readable language isn't used more".
In other words, people don't understand the need for it. Those that do use other formats - json or toml, namely.
