Infiniband RDMA is quite old yes but the Ethernet protocols are still rather new and they (iWarp & RoCE) are still competing for supremacy which doesn't really help adoption. At this point it looks like RoCE will win because Intel dropped iWarp but at this point there is basically only one major manufacturer backing each protocol.

Oh I misunderstood the context, yes my examples were in the context of Infiniband cards, thanks. I admit I haven't kept up with RoCE/iWarp. If you have an links to share I would appreciate it. Cheers.
