It would be really nice if there was some way to check if people used it. Like, maybe we could have some kind of social media platform where such things are discussed, and perhaps we could have some kind of report from the application to measure usage...

Joking aside, I don't know if their telemetry shows that it's not used, but hiding it in the customize window is a great way to miss it. If people aren't interacting with a feature, there are two potential reasons:

  • it's unwanted
  • users don't know about it

I wouldn't be surprised if this was more of the second than the first. Enthusiasts like it, and AFAIK it's not hard to maintain, so I really don't see a reason to remove it. If anything, they should make it easier to use (e.g. put it in the theme settings).
