Webalizer is still shipped by default with cPanel, which although maybe not popular here is still by far the most commonly used hosting control panel. There are surprisingly few tools for quick log file analysis, goaccess already mentioned being a notable exception.

At least one DirectAdmin-based host I know of has it too, I wouldn't be surprised if it's ubiquitous.

You can't run GoAccess on these kinds of systems (as a customer) because you usually don't have SSH access. Even if you do, many customers on these kinds of hosts might not know how SSH works.

For what it does, Webalizer is still pretty nice, but unfortunately most of what you'll see on any serious website will be bot traffic.
