Aren't schema.org and Wikidata/Wikipedia still powering most of Google's rich search results?

I heard them announce the new result page with bard but I probably didn't see it because of ad-blindness or it's not yet releases in my location, have to look this up...

Well schema.org was not referring to an organization or entitity, but its published schemas. I'd argue these were and are driving a lot of rich results, especially for local businesses.
