Is Mercator actually still used anywhere outside of clickbait blog posts?

For reference: this is the world map I know from school in the 1980's which is much less distorted than 'plain old Mercator':

U.S.A. uses Mercator pretty much exclusively, from education all the way through TV, news, and movies.
