At my duck club in central NY. Out of 26 members, 13 shoot SxS's, 8 Auto's and 5 O/U's. Duck hunting in our area has a lot to do with tradition so many of the guys are interested in the traditions of waterfowl hunting which includes the old doubles. At my gun club Rochester Brooks with 1200 plus members it seems evenly split Autos and O/U. I shoot with a 10-12 SxS shooters but we are a very small minority. Many folks just think it is impossible to kill a duck or break a clay with a SxS that has 3" of drop and two triggers. It didn't slow the old timers down and I think they had a lot of things right when it comes to guns and game.
