Actually most message passing code uses things like JMS and the various
MQ libraries. Most IoT uses things other than dbus, small deep embedded
never uses dbus.

In the desktop space dbus wins because its very very easy to use and by
network effects. Everything else related already talks via dbus, so you
are going to have to talk dbus anyway to get anything done.
