Perhaps they're mocked and avoided in your sphere but there's certainly plenty of consumer products using them. Both sonoff and Tuya produce enormous amounts of products with them.

What exactly is your problem with them? The chips are fairly capable and the newest ones have transitioned to RiscV in case you're unaware. Sure I wouldn't use them for anything serious realtime but that rarely requires wifi/ble anyway so not sure why you'd pick an ESP to begin with for that :)
