lots of folks

I wonder if these were the general population of users seen today, since AFAIK foo/bar are not in the vocabulary of most people as metasyntactic variables; I hear "blah" more commonly used for this purpose.

It's not in the vocabulary of users (who don't know what "metasyntactic" means anyway), but it's still prominent in the vocabulary of developers.
