Just because popular hosting companies are not using Solaris zones, that does not mean there are not large Zones-based deployments elsewhere in the industry. Particularly, some major corporations (including banks and telcos) are using Zones in their production Solaris environments. These turn out to be particularly large deployments, with hundreds of machines in data centers across the US.
These users do not broadcast their use of Zones, but having worked with them, they certainly do exist.
*Used to work at Sun on a project related to Zones and ZFS.
