Servo was never tightly integrated with a sizeable browser project. It shared some components with Firefox, but the only time Servo itself was inside an actual browser release was Firefox Reality for AR. Which still exists, though I'm not sure what the future of development for it will look like.

I was holding out some hope that maybe Valve or Microsoft would consider it a worthwhile project to invest in.

I think Valve and Microsoft are better served (for different reasons) by there being only one browser engine, the one they use. It's users that really gain from the competition. Companies may gain in the long run because of better performance and features (but I think most the low hanging fruit for performance has been picked), but in the short run it's a lot of risk just to help everyone, not yourself, which isn't where public companies shine.
