I went out of my way to buy a LightScribe drive for my 2008 build (C2D E8400, 4GB DDR2 800, AMD HD 4870, Vista Ultimate + Linspire), and I never even used the feature. Burned less than a dozen discs total as well.

I feel like optical media died around that same time. Netflix introduced its streaming service, torrents entered the mainstream, and MP3 players replaced CD players. Didn’t even bother with an optical drive in my 2014 build (i5-4670K, 16GB DDR3 1866, GTX 780, Win8.1 + Ubuntu). Current build doesn’t have one, either (7700X, 32GB DDR5 6000, 4090, Win11 + Arch).
