According to this, as of 2022, in the US, only 175k households were still using dial-up Internet service from any provider. That’s not a lot of people.
I suppose that someone who was determined to use dial-up access and didn’t want some form of wireless service and didn’t want or couldn’t get access to non-POTS landline service and had been using AOL could switch to them.
EDIT: It looks like it’s still possible to get POTS modems on Amazon. I suspect that that’s mostly for people using fax systems.

I’m guessing that many of those realistically have other landline options and just haven’t switched.

The amusingly-named-given-the-context dslextreme.com apparently continues to offer nationwide dial-up service.
