Source? I'm in multiple current, active development projects with companies, they are all using the LINQ query syntax.
Not to mention all of the legacy code out there that is under active maintenance.
To say almost no one feels very much antithetical to my (albeit anecdotal) experience. I can't imagine, I'm the only c# consultant that has multiple clients that use LINQ queries extensively throughout their applications.

I think beyond that, it's probably more common with developers that came from doing SQL queries but "needed" type safety.
I've worked with developers that didn't even know the extension methods existed. They went from SqlCommand to LINQ to EF or LINQ to SQL.
The only time I think query syntax is better than the extension methods is when dealing with table joins.
Fairly niche, but query syntax is a great approximation of Haskell's do notation:
