Oatmeal, still a thing?

Weird question, my mom and I were discussing this, I have no idea why. Do kids still eat oatmeal? You know, the Quaker instant oatmeal in many different flavors? Or maybe good old-fashioned oatmeal?
If they do, is it regional? In other countries other than US?
I have a collection of microwavable bowls that my grandmother got by saving Quaker oatmeal labels or something. We use them almost daily for heating food in the microwave. They are color-changing with hot or cold food.
Just curious, as my son is grown and flown and never liked oatmeal anyway.

I tried, my kid has always been grossed out by the texture so its a no go. She's tried it every few years for better part of a decade and a half l, even the sweet flavored instant prepackaged ones.

She doesn't hate the flavors of the instants, she wants to like it so bad because she deemed it healthy [the OG unsweetened kind], but it totally makes her gag. So I only buy oatmeal and cream of wheat for me, and she teases me about it being old people and baby food.
