Yes, everywhere I've ever lived or visited in the US. And very few hardware stores stock anything but those basic types of locks. Even the somewhat more secure Medco locks are virtually never seen, and cost several times more to buy.
I would say they're right to use relatively simple locks too. I've known several people who have had their homes broken into through kicking down doors or breaking windows. I've never even heard of a break-in by picking a lock. Why make everybody's locks much more expensive and harder to duplicate when lockpicking attacks are virtually nonexistent in the real world?
