I have locally generated SecureBoot keys that I use on my computers, but my anecdotal impression is that it's not common. For the first decade or so that I used Linux, I relied on whatever it was my distribution was doing by default.

For the case of installers, though, it's sort of a chicken and egg problem, and an additional barrier to new users who may not be familiar with all the details.
