"even" is nice for the ones who developed it (with Intel).
The problem with UPnP is that it sucks as a standard (especially UPnP
AV) and more specifically most of the implementations do.
The reason a lot of consumer electronics companies support it is that
they have no idea of SW development or relevant product management so
they use what is cheapest and most easily available and dubbed as a
"standard".
I have no data (how could one have) that even today more AirPlay devices
are being used for audio streaming than UPnP devices, simple sales
figures don't mean a thing. By sales figures I probably own a dozen or
so "UPnP enabled" devices, none of which I have ever used for audio
streaming through UPnP.

I'm pretty sure there are even more Squeezeboxes out there being
actually used for audio streaming than UPnP devices.
