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.

No idea if kids like it these days, when I was a kid I didn't eat it at all but I'm a huge fan now. I got some free package at store recently that had dried raspberries in it but also glucose syrup, it was good but I decided to buy separate dry raspberries and mix it with plain oat flakes and chopped almonds with no added sugar and it's great for breakfast.
I guess it's something an adult appreciates more than a kid, especially when they have the alternative in the form of sweet so-called cereals like Cheerios, Nesquik balls etc.

@CrazyMusicLover I have a rule about never eating anything with the word balls on it.
