Manufactured (AKA mobile) homes are typically plumbed with PVC or PEX[0], and PEX is pretty popular for traditional (AKA site-built) houses as well[1].

Yes, most new homes are plumbed with PVC (or actually, CPVC, which is a variant that tolerates higher temperatures and is sized like copper pipe) or PEX. I wouldn't trust sharkbite fittings for anything really permanent (inside a wall, etc) but they are super handy for quick repairs.
