I'd consider pretty much any hyped blockchain technology to be not very widely used, considering the amount of growth potential there is. That is, it's only going to get worse. Additionally, doesn't the computational cost of a single transaction go up all the time, making each transaction more harmful than the others before it? I'd like to see estimates about the future instead of statements about the present - preferably from independent parties instead of those pushing for the adoption of blockchain tech.

These platforms aren’t stagnant as time goes on changes can be made like with ethereum 2.0. You wanted to see example of efficient blockchain platforms with mass usage so that’s what I showed you some of many examples of that. 

We'll see about that and hope for the best. I don't consider those mass usage despite seemingly large numbers of transactions, because what applications are mentioned there don't sound like mass use cases. That is, this is far from what it could all realistically become; There's much more room for growth yet, and if that growth becomes reality, what exists currently will be but a drop in the ocean. Maybe the changes will still improve the situation, but again, I'll reconsider my position once the changes actually happen.
