I would guess that the usage is, in descending order: Mobile -> Kiosk -> Print-at-home
Print-at-home seems to be the folks who do the yearly vacation thing.

I suppose that it has value for those who can't count in the single digits.

"Please take a moment to look at your boarding pass.... Unless it is printed in gold, sit down"
I do, for two reasons.
1. international flights, which is the vast majority of what I fly, don't like mobile boarding passes and want printed ones. In fact, one time I was in a rush, used mobile boarding pass on my first flight (domestic) and when I got to the gate for my second flight (INTL) they were paging me and had a paper pass.
2. I collect every ticket. It's fun.
