I don't think it is "just around" - it is actively maintained still:

https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver

In the end Red Hat failed to kill off X11. Let's see what happens next. The GTK devs already rejected patches for maintaining the toolkit further for the xorg platform, following their "GTK5 will no longer support x11" agenda. Would be kind of great to have a universal GUI toolkit that would work rather than have toolkits controlled de-facto by private companies who just willy-nilly throw out support for this or that platform at their own selfish discretion. Though, someone else now helps maintain gtk2, though most of the patches are in regards to fixing bugs, ensuring that it can be compiled and so forth. https://git.devuan.org/Daemonratte/gtk2-ng

Real question: is X11Libre widely used by anyone but its maintainers?

Several distros have gone XLibre as their default display manager. I installed Artix on a bc-250 just last week and XLibre was the default there.
