I too have never heard of Takeout. It seems like it's been in around since 2011 with a much smaller set of supported services [1]. One of the top results when you search for 'Google Takeout' is one from 2011 titled 'The Silent Release of Google Takeout' [2]. It looks like it used to be closely associated with the Google Plus branding more so than Account Management, so that may explain why it's not as widely known.
