That's not necessarily true - it has reached a good number of
concerned parties.  My own institution has included ORCID training and
sign up health in our new faculty "welcome sessions" for the last
couple of years.  Texas A&M Univ in College Station has gone buck wild
and created a whole program.  That said, I think we're still building
up to the critical mass tipping point on it.

As a scientometricist, I often face the problem of attributing
research publications to the right authors. Author names are rendered
differently in different publications, e.g. John Maynard Smith or John
M Smith or J M Smith or Smith JM. Also, there could be more than one
John M Smith. [The same way, names of institutions are also rendered
in different ways. To take care of the multiple rendering of
institutional names, Clarivate's Web of Science has a field called
'Organization enhanced' or OG. Even that does not capture all name
variants.]

If all authors of research publications adopt ORCID iD, the name
ambiguity problem can be solved. More than a year ago, I and my
colleague Muthu Madhan wrote a detailed paper on this issue:

but unfortunately, it does not seem to have reached many people.

Academic and research librarians could campaign for the adoption of
ORCID iD by all their users.
