Anecdotal, of course, but also I did a poll here a while ago about it, along with how many groups allow/use feats.
The results were about 50% use (or at least allow) multiclassing, and 95% use feats IIRC. I can try to dig it up but it has been a while....
EDIT: found it here:
D&D 5E - Addicted to multiclassing
How much do you multiclass when you're playing 5E or just having fun making up a build concept? When I get to play, which thankfully has been more and more lately, once I get my subclass I start looking at a new class because often that other class meets the vision for the character more so...
It averages only about 30%, actually. Now, it isn't a large sample and is just posters here on EnWorld, but it fits the anecdotal evidence as well.
That poll is about individuals use of multiclassing not grohps. As such it shows that over 80% of people that responded used multiclassing at least rarely or more often. So this would indicate that those people were likely to be playing in groups that allowed multiclassing rules to be used.
Of the 18.5% that never use MCing it is possibly that some may be in games that allowed the rule but didn't actually use it themselves. But let's assume they are all in games that don't allow it, this means almost 20% of games that may not allow the multiclass rule.
Which would be a closer match to my anecdotal observation based on reading stuff online, rather than the 50% you chaim (and as opposed to IRL seeing 100% use of it in the games I know of among friend.)

Experiences differ.
I know there was another poll discussing both multiclass and feats (I thought it was mine, but I was mistaken), but I'm not going to go digging around for it. Feats were high (like 95% as I said), but multiclassing was close to 50%.EDIT: I will add that this was a while ago, and it could certainly be possible now that multiclassing is becoming more and more commonplace.
Regardless, multiclassing is optional! So, having an issue with a subclass because someone finds it is abused due to an optional rule seems a bit extreme to me. But hey, to each their own...
