X forwarding over SSH always struck me as a bit of an edge case. I used it maybe 5 times in the last 20 years. Most people probably never knew this was a thing.
I use it every day all day ever since it was introduced in ssh (can't remember when). Before that used to just forward in plaintext over the network (different times).

When I explain this to people, they are usually very surprised.
