I just recently did the finish electrical in an addition to my house.  Of the 5 new fixtures installed, one has integrated LEDs.  The other 4 got incandescent (halogen) bulbs installed in them.

I still use incandescents for specialty applications, such as display cases and decorative uses. Most are modern stuff though. They were exempt from the LED conversion I did in my house starting in 2016.

Most of my house came with incans, but in places there are a few of those stupid led integrated fixtures. :'( >:( When those pop they will get changed out with incan replaceable fixtures. 8) I have a big box od halogens for the A19 lamps, and a case of BR30's for whenver the 20 odd cans burn out.

I have some incandescents in use but they're just hanging in there. I haven't installed new incandescent (or halogen) lamps in a few years. My first LEDs were in my bedroom fan, 3 of then installed in 2011. Utilitech (Panasonic) brand. They still work but are no longer in use, moved to my collection. In 2016 I replaced all the CFLs in the house with LEDs. The 4 bulb kitchen light, 4 bulb dining room light, garage opener lights, and bathroom fan lights.

My house only has 4 LEDs plus 2x RGB LED strips, 3 CFLs, about 35 halogens, and around 20 incandescents! I have loads of spares so when anything goes EOL I'll just replace it with exactly the same thing that was there before.  :bulbman:
