Mailing lists are not heavily used outside of free software. In the corporate world I’ve never had a project provide a mailing list to be used for discussions.

Tools exist even if you don't use them.

Many companies use Outlook groups. Those are mailing lists.

Not in the sense that they’re searchable / archived on a listserv.
