Not unpopular. Programmers who can understand the underlying technology and look beyond the lofty ideological BS of blockchain will immediately know, this will not work in real world scenarios.

I tried to find any company who was using blockchain in any meaningful way. I couldn't find any. All I could find was promotional pieces mentioning what COULD BE DONE with blockchain or a trial that some big name company was CONSIDERING. No updates on the results of those trials or if anyone actually carried out the trial.
