In my 20-something years in the industry I worked for teams that claimed they use scrum, sprints, or some combination of those, multiple times; in all 100% of cases it had nothing to do with how the “real” scrum is supposed to work.
The majority of the teams are actually doing morning meetings which they call “stand-ups” even though everyone is sitting in the conference room or at home, working remotely, and go around the table updating the status. Sometimes these meetings are daily, sometimes every other day or so.
Some teams have some kind of sprint review once every 2 or 3 or 4 weeks which involves a
somewhat deeper discussion of the open and closed work items.
That's as much as people call “scrum” and “sprint” around me.
