I'm not seeing it, just an uptick in usage. I find most places that previously used MySQL just use MariaDB instead.

In my experience actually most people still use MySQL and not MariaDB.

If you go to MySQL's website, they will list page after page of users, most of which you've heard of. If you go to MariaDB's website, they list users. Most of them you've never heard of.

Agreed, it seems many people look at Maria as a way out if MySQL itself or its licensing ever turns on them, without wanting to support them in the current tense.
