That's a total stretch, lens is not used in GHC for example and lots of other smaller compilers written in Haskell. It is used in Ermine but that is stuck in a semi complete state for a while now and Ekmett has moved on.

I second this.

I’ve written tens of thousands of lines of Haskell, and I’ve never used lens. Also, putting it in the same category as text and vector doesn’t make sense — these are indeed unavoidable, and practically all my projects use them.

Thirded. No lens in pandoc (50k lines of haskell), darcs (40k), most hledger packages (15k).
