I take you at your word you have seen "a lot" in your experiences. In mine, I have seen none. And if I did, I would snap a picture!
I used to see these TSA ones way more a decade ago than in the past three years.

The CBP ones are way more prevalent now than a decade ago.

The DCA-bound flights have been getting the TSA ones way more frequently than other domestic flights when controlling for year; but except for say major events in DC, they are now very infrequently done.
