A comment on Elasticsearch Was Never a Database.

Are the folks still using ES simply unaware of the performance advantages of ClickHouse, or is there some use case that ES covers that CH is still missing?

Full-text search. It was only added to Clickhouse relatively recently, and is still in Beta. It's a core feature of ES from the beginning.
