I definitely do for something I want to write myself, that behaves like an app, but has zero entry barrier. I am adding PWA best practices to everything I do now "just in case", still not quite sure if it's going anywhere, maybe it is only me. I wanted a "packing reminder" on my phone so I made https://paulypopex.gitlab.io/holiday-reminder/# and it works for me.
what3words has appeared twice recently as a news story on bbc.co.uk
I'd not heard of plus.codes even though now I realise I'd seen them on google maps listings
The most recent article [1] read like an advertisement. They even quoted someone as saying "I just cannot see a downside". It's a shame they didn't find time to mention any of the many criticisms of it, most of which are listed on Wikipedia!

they're ramping up the availability at the moment, adafruit has them I think http://whereismypizero.com/ - some places only have them as part of a kit admittedly, but I managed to buy one on its own.
I'm confident availability is getting easier, and the new version has a camera slot too.

after the initial batch all manufacturing resource was supposedly moved to the pi 3 so they're still tricky to come by. I'm sure they'll be back though. There's an interview in https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/issues/43/ that explains this I think.
I have one pi zero and (like 99% of raspberry pis - or is it raspberries pi? - in the wild) I have not done anything useful with it yet.
