I’d argue this is not the right question. Obviously people use Postgres without PgBouncer. If you include non-production in the mix (CI/CD), most connections probably avoid it. But because PgBouncer is so common, the question should probably be, why isn’t connection pooling part of Postgres out of the box? I think this might be the more interesting question.
