And there are still users around using startx/xinit because they do this since 20 years (or getting told this by people using it since 20 years), for whom it would make things even much easier to use a displaymanager nowadays.
My use case for startx is simply when the "normal way" fails because of some graphical problem, like when building and checking the nvidia driver. And that's it, never for actual usage ;-)
Mine started years ago, to run one user in native display mode, while others simultaneously on displays :[1-2] using other display modes via the XORGCONFIG= ENVAR. It's seriously more convenient while mostly keyboarding to skip any DM when doing repeated session starts and stops to test startup configs. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
