I never used one tbh. Last time I used something WebGL was when its tech demo was released.

Of course all of these have uses, that's why they exist. I just find these use cases very rare/exotic compared to viewing a video with subs.

The google maps globe view (and google earth) uses WebGL. I use that quite often.

A lot of people play online games. They aren't exactly rare.

Something that is actually a lot less used (and probably a lot of effort to maintain as well) is webxr. It's a cool technology but not very useful right now (although I could imagine it becoming more important in the future)
