You answered your own question. "You" can't imagine it's useful.
There are a great many data geeks who find it quite useful.

Maybe we can take a poll? How many here gather and use data on their

I hardly consider this forum to be representative of the cycling
community at alrge.

I certainly agree with that! This is a group with no members who were
not interested in the title "tech".  So if these people are not
measuring individual leg power, I doubt it's very common.

Our bike club is mostly social, not very competitive. I do have friends
who use "new" equipment (e.g. aero wheels, 13 cogs, road disc brakes)
and a few who mention their KOM triumphs. Many of them use Garmin or
similar devices. But IIRC none have ever discussed power meter readings.
Maybe some new, younger club members are doing that, but I don't ride
with those folks.

Then there's the vast majority of bike riders who will never join a
club, never look at a bike magazine, never try to ride fast, who just
ride for fun. No power meters there.

But the bigger question is, "why do you care if others are using power
meters?"
