In the early 2000s all the miscellaneous small projects on sourceforge used GPLv2 (v3 was not out yet).
These days you'll be hard pressed to find any new projects using GPLv3, except the ones with close ties to the GNU or FSF.
The GPL is getting more irrelevant and more easy to avoid. That's why nobody is afraid of GPLv3 any more.
The web stack is such an example. Almost everything you use -- chrome, webpack, electron, babel, React etc all adopted the permissive license.
Not quite so for other areas, but I can count with one hand the number of GPLv3 licenses I have seen in new projects.
