Is anyone still (or has anyone ever) used IPFS in production?

I’m not talking about technology demos such as Wikipedia-on-IPFS (which indeed worked and was impressive) but where IPFS is actually being relied on for some functionality.

https://swap.cow.fi uses it for order metadata registering iirc

It doesn't seem like it's popular to put old game ROMs on IPFS...? And that surprises me...

NFT artwork, if you count that. Briefly checked, the ones that were traded for the most were using IPFS rather than HTTP. But I also don't trust that these aren't self-wash sales (easy given the "NF" part), also NFTs are dumb.

It's funny because even in Piracy, IPFS has never really taken off and that's a massive use case.
