Over my past 16 years as a DBA consultant/contractor, incremental
backups have been very much in the majority. Some use cumulative
incrementals, most use differential incrementals. Many use BCT to make
incrementals more efficient. Many also backup DataGuard physical
standbys, instead of the primaries, although there are some RMAN bugs
involved between 11.1.0.6 and 11.2.0.3.
Organizations with strict RTO and RPO objectives use DataGuard,
GoldenGate, or other replication options as the primary recovery method,
with RMAN restore/recovery as the last resort.

am not sure where you get the idea that most places don't use incremental
