It's a mode of interaction like any. There are many people who use it in their day to day lives, like any other tongue. Due to the reduced size, it's often said to have a "therapeutic" effect, which is what catches many peoples' attention. I go by it maybe 20% of the time (on average) and I use it as my teaching go-to in my groups (of note, when Toki Pona is in the equation, people fight less due to its nature).
