I think most people don't have a use for thinking of reality in these terms until they struggle with something that brings them to this line of questioning or unless they are just naturally very curious and have a lot of free time. As far as I know, the practice of mindfulness (which I'm assuming is a necessity for getting a more objective view of the world) is just as esoteric today in the East where these practices originated from.. only the philosophy underpinning the practice may be seen as less foreign over there.
