Many homes have tubes, either straight or circular, as fixtures in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements where their utilitarian character makes sense.
Sparse use in notable places, if at all.
Not as the dominant lighting devices throughout the home.
I’ve a couple CFLs in hard-to-reach seldom-used locations (garage, porches) where replacement is a pain and light quality is irrelevant.
Point is that that aside from a tiny number of isolated applications (look, this is a blog post, not a comprehensive tome detailing all exceptions, variations, and justifications - reasonably understood generalizations are the norm, and attacking them for lack of total comprehension is stupid), most/many people who have smashed a mercury-based light has reconsidered further use.
