sysadmins who are fully invested in the MS ecosystem do use it a lot. People doing cross-platform work, don’t.
In terms of wider adoption, it suffered by maturing at a time when a lot of people had moved on to more powerful devop solutions. And of course, being MS tech (although technically it was acquired), it carries a stigma.
I just found it un-intuitive, ugly, and verbose. Compared to my beloved python it looks really really bad.
