Curious what kind of interfaces you're thinking about? (Aside from vi, vim, nvim)
From my experience anything with "vi navigation" basically just means using the home row keys for navigation + modes. So I haven't come across many interfaces yet where the verb order differences between helix/vim come into play.
Then the question is readline. Not saying that vi or emacs deserve to win readline, but it’s up to you to describe how Helix mode would differ from vi mode.
Overleaf, for example, supports most of Vim’s bindings.

In vimium I use vim navigation for scrolling around, / for search, and a bunch of tab actions that aren't vim accurate but vim inspired.
In mpv I use gg/G to getting to the beginning/end of a file.
Many terminal file managers use vim binds or idioms (such as x for delete, marks, etc).

i3 window manager leans heavily on vim defaults for navigating windows.
If you learn Vim you’ll have access to Vi and Vi-like interfaces in lots of other software including terminals, database clients and everything that uses readline.
