You are right that most people do not have to interact with SAT solvers. Everyone has, almost surely, interacted with software with uses SAT solvers or have used SAT solvers for development tools.
If not software, your chips were definitely designed using tools which are nowadays based on SAT.

I mentioned formal verification, and I expect synthesis uses it a bit. Still a pretty minor use IMO. You definitely could still design chips without SAT/SMT.
