Like all lisps it is niche. I don’t use scheme but have used Common Lisp and clojure for a few years. Racket has a thriving community as far as I can tell. You just don’t see lisp much in the wild but it’s there.
My totally uneducated and uninhibitedly snarky guess is that people who use any Lisp family language (except maybe Clojure) don't go around talking much about that fact, or thumping their chests about it, unlike (some) Ruby, Python or JS users. They probably just quietly go about using it and having fun, and talk about it when they meet each other.
