If it's included with Windows, then people definitely still use it. The people-you-know circle is just a tiny subset of the people-who-use-Windows circle, and the people-you-know circle likely skews towards the more technically inclined if you're a HN user.

It's included with Windows, but it's not the default for most (any?) of the file types it can handle any more-- the Movies & TV Store app opens video files, and Groove Music opens audio files. So it's not really in the path of most users any more; it's still there for people who know about it, but you're not likely to run into it unless you go out of your way to use it.
