Google's Fuchsia uses sbase in userspace, if the aforementioned
examples were not already enough. This means that sbase is (factually)
installed on millions of devices worldwide, given at least Google's
Nest Hub runs Fuchsia.

Some background: Google chose sbase because it's so well-portable and
non-GPL. The coreutils aren't (and are GPL), same with busybox.

With best regards
