It would be nice if Gmail App (Android, iOS), as well as Gmail Webmail
would identify themselves by sending ID: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2971
I have noticed that Gmail is not doing that. Also Samsung Mail App is
not doing that, and a few minor MUAs.

I'd say one of the largest clients is actually iOS Mail, which
probably has a significant usage even for the major webmail services
with their own clients. Given the way that iOS is usually set up, and
(at least until recently) how a third party mail app couldn't be used
everywhere iOS Mail was, there are even a lot of folks who have it
configured even if they mostly use another app.
The other large set is going to be Outlook either connected to
Exchange or O365, but that's not going to be IMAP. Apple Mail is also
a decent percentage, that would be IMAP.
Thunderbird has some decent usage for us. mutt/pine/etc are in the noise.

One data point I look at is Litmus' annual state of email report,
which among other things lists the top email apps they see through
their tools.
The two key points are usually:
1: The majority of mail is consumed on phones
2: A very, very large junk of mail is consumed through IMAP
clients. That includes apps like Gmail or Yahoo Mail on phones
which are not necessarily used to access Gmail or Yahoo but other
email services.
That matches our own data as well.

Does anyone have (a pointer to) figures for the comparative use
of "traditional" MUAs (IMAP, POP) and webmail - both generic
and email-service-supplied ?
When I first heard about BIMI I assumed it was aimed at
email-service-supplied webmail - I imagine mutt or alpine users
would be turned *off* by sender logos.
The latest BIMI discussion prompted me to ask whether POP/IMAP
MUAs have any significance in email today.
Even Thunderbird, which I guess is one of the biggest MUAs left,
if not the biggest, has been moved from the Mozilla Corporation
to the Mozilla Foundation

suggesting that it is "good to have" rather than "profitable".
