Yeah, nobody uses QoS. It's not needed for data services (cell phone providers do not care if your Skype works badly if Youtube video is playing on your phone) and voice traffic goes over links with guaranteed bandwidth.

Quite often voice and data backbones also use separate circuits, so QoS is not used even there.

This is actually some simple, manual, very coarse form of QoS when you think about it. Simple => works.
