Pidgin has, or at least had, more usage than you might think. I know that it was the typical Jabber client at Oracle a couple years ago. It's been superseded by Slack/Teams/Zoom recently, but it's not exactly rare. Also, if you were going to profile network admins or ops people that might be interesting to target for attack, they're more likely than most to be running Pidgin.
