Segwit was a soft-fork upgrade. It only takes effect if you move to a Segwit compatible wallet and send from there.

Which tells me people don't actually care enough, or they'd be doing that.

Which makes me wonder about the validity of the majority of the complaints.

Maybe because nobody's using Bitcoin as a currency and it's all speculation.

Currencies actually get used for transactions...

That's an interesting theory, considering this story is about someone using Bitcoin for a transaction.

EDIT: it's Friday, be nicer me

That doesn't fit. Per bitinfocharts.com the coin with the highest txn rate is Ethereum, followed closely by Bitcoin. The others are far behind. I'd say it's seeing a lot of use.
