But that doesn't mean jquery was used exclusively on these sites. Look at any major website, in addition to some modern framework, they will often include jquery for just a few old hacks (I've seen popular sites include 3-5 different jquery versions on the same page).

Many sites hang onto jQuery solely for the Ajax abstraction that allows older versions of IE to function.

Also, WordPress includes it by default, but rarely are the site admins actually doing anything with jQuery.
