What do you mean by low adoption? Every device launching with 8 has to support it.

About 12% worldwide adoption, about when Android 9 got released.

OEMs got around Treble certification by releasing mostly devices with Android 7 on them.

And given that OEMs were the ones supposed to push Treble updates not Google, even those that released devices with 8 weren't that active pushing them.

Which has finally made Google include some update requirements on the Play Services access.
