From what I can tell the vast majority of developers don't use git bisect and never will.

FWIW, having squashed merge commits also reduces the relevance of bisect. It can still be useful but it’s not necessarily as critical of a tool.

This. This is why small commits are nice. If you do that you might as well rebase. If you squash you lose.
