There is a good chance you are correct. However my assumption is not without bases, please consider the following statistic: Google finds 185,000 (or so) phpinfo() pages, when mbstring is added to the search query only 8150 pages are found. That leads me to believe that 1/2% of that userbase uses mbstring. Even if we were to say that of all the people who have mbstring compiled use it (which is highly unlikely) it's still only 1/2%.
