In svn's heyday, the standard way to install or update a popular app like WordPress was to download and extract a tarball. Only people who actually participated in the development of the app itself used svn.
Nowadays, lots of open-source projects encourage ordinary webmasters to clone a Github repo and run `git pull` to update.
So I suspect that public .svn folders will be less common.
